1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the filet mignon generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4
Cook the Steak
Add the filet mignon to the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until a brown crust forms. Flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare or longer for your desired doneness.
5
Add Optional Garnish
In the last minute of cooking, add a tablespoon of butter and a sprig of fresh rosemary to the skillet to enhance the flavor.
6
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.
