1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps in even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4
Sear the Steak
Add the filet mignon to the hot pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a brown crust forms.
5
Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the steak and add butter, garlic cloves, and fresh herbs to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, spooning the melted butter over the steak.
6
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.
