1
Preparation
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps ensure 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, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4
Cook the Steak
Add the filet mignon to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
5
Flip and Add Butter
Flip the steak and add butter and the sprig of rosemary to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the melted butter.
6
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
7
Serve
Slice the filet mignon and serve with your favorite sides.
