Filet Mignon 8 Oz. (american Wagyu) Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   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.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

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

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Place the filet mignon in the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Flavor

   Flip the steak and add the butter and fresh rosemary to the pan. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting with the melted butter.

6. 6

   Check Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F for medium-rare). Adjust cooking time as necessary for your preferred doneness.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice and serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides.
