Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

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

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Once the pan is hot, place the steak in the pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it, until a nice crust forms.

  5. 5

    Flip and Add Herbs and Butter

    Flip the steak and add the fresh rosemary or thyme and butter to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, spooning the melted butter over the steak.

  6. 6

    Check Temperature

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should be around 130°F (54°C).

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice the steak and serve with your choice of sides.
