Filet Mignon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the 8 oz prime filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot enough that a drop of water sizzles in the pan.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Place the seasoned filet mignon in the hot pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare, then flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes on the other side.

  5. 5

    Add Butter and Rosemary

    In the last minute of cooking, add the butter and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steak for extra flavor.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately, drizzling any leftover buttery juices from the pan on top.
