Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

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

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Rub olive oil all over the steak to coat evenly. Sprinkle fresh rosemary on top.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until it's hot.

  2. 4

    Sear the Filet Mignon

    Once the pan is hot, add the filet mignon to the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving it, until a golden-brown crust forms.

  3. 5

    Flip and Cook

    Carefully flip the steak using tongs. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness.

  4. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the filet mignon from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
