Filet Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Pat the filet dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Searing

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the filet mignon. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Adding Flavor

    During the last minute of cooking, add the garlic cloves, rosemary, and butter to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the filet as it finishes cooking.

  5. 5

    Resting

    Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes before slicing.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides and drizzle with the pan juices.
