1
Season the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season both sides of the filet mignon generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Prepare the Pan
In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
3
Sear the Steak
Once the oil is hot, gently place the filet mignon into the pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a brown crust forms. Avoid moving the steak during this time.
4
Add Flavorings
Flip the steak and add butter, rosemary, and crushed garlic cloves to the pan. Use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter and the juices in the pan for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5
Transfer to Oven
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness (5 minutes for medium-rare).
6
Rest the Steak
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the filet mignon to a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7
Serve
Slice the filet mignon against the grain and serve hot. Drizzle any pan juices over the steak for added flavor.
