Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Preparation

   Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2. 2

   Seasoning

   Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

3. 3

   Searing

   Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it is very hot. Place the seasoned filet mignon in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side, without moving it.

4. 4

   Flipping

   Flip the steak using tongs and add the butter and fresh herbs to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, spooning the melted butter over the steak as it cooks.

5. 5

   Resting

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

6. 6

   Serving

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