Filet Mignon 6oz. Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

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

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until it is hot.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the seasoned filet mignon to the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it, until a golden-brown crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip the Steak

   Using tongs, flip the steak and add garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your preferred doneness.

6. 6

   Add Butter

   In the last minute of cooking, add the butter to the pan. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steak for added flavor.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

8. 8

   Serve

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