Filet Mignon* Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Preparation

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

2. 2

   Seasoning

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

3. 3

   Cooking

   Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness.

4. 4

   Basting

   In the last minute of cooking, add butter and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steak.

5. 5

   Resting

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

6. 6

   Serving

   Slice the filet mignon against the grain and serve immediately.
