Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Filet
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking.
Season the Meat
Pat the filet dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.
Sear the Filet
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the seasoned filet mignon. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a golden brown crust forms.
Rest the Meat
Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
Serve
Slice and serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides.
