Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This helps ensure even cooking.
- 2
Season the Steak
Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Then, generously season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary.

Flip the Steak
Using tongs, carefully flip the steak over and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
