Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Steak
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.
Mince Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Cooking
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Sear the Filet Mignon
Add the filet mignon to the hot pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
Check Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130°F (54°C).
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
