1
Prepare the Filet
Remove the filet mignon medallion from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the filet dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary.

3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
4
Sear the Filet
Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the filet in the pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it.
5
Flip and Add Butter
Flip the filet over and add the butter to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, basting the filet with melted butter using a spoon.
6
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130-135°F (55-57°C). Cook longer if desired.
7
Rest the Meat
Remove the filet from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

8
Plate the Filet
Slice the filet medallion if preferred, then place it on a plate. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
