Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Steak

Remove the bone-in filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2

Season the Steak

Rub the steaks with olive oil, and season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.

3

Preheat the Skillet

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

4

Sear the Steak

Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms. Do not move the steaks during this time.

5

Flip and Add Aromatics

Flip the steaks and add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and butter to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting the steaks with the melted butter.

6

Check for Doneness

Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).

7

Rest the Steak

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8

Serve

Slice the steaks and serve with your choice of sides.
