American Wagyu Filet Mignon 8 Oz. Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Preparation

   Remove the Wagyu filet mignon from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature, about 30-45 minutes before cooking.

2. 2

   Seasoning

   Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. 3

   Searing the Steak

   In a cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the filet mignon in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it.

4. 4

   Flipping the Steak

   Using tongs, flip the steak and add the butter and the optional herb. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the melted butter.

5. 5

   Resting

   Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
