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 ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Sear the Steak
Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.
4
Flip and Add Aromatics
Flip the steak and add crushed garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, and butter to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, spooning the melted butter over the steak.
5
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130°F (54°C).
6
Rest and Serve
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately.
