1
Prepare the Filet
Remove the Wagyu filet from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2
Season the Meat
Generously season both sides of the filet with kosher salt and black pepper.

3
Heat the Pan
In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering.
4
Sear the Filet
Place the filet in the hot pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side, without moving it, until a nice crust forms.
5
Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the filet and add the optional butter, garlic cloves (smashed), and fresh rosemary to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, basting the filet with the melted butter.
6
Check Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; for medium-rare, it should be around 130°F (54°C).

7
Rest the Meat
Remove the filet from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.

8
Slice and Serve
Slice the filet against the grain and serve immediately, optionally drizzling with any remaining pan juices.
