Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filets

    Take the petite filets out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Filets

    Pat the filets dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil over both sides of the filets, then season generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle minced garlic and chopped rosemary on both sides.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter and let it melt until it begins to foam.

  4. 4

    Cook the Filets

    Add the filets to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the filets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a different doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Filets

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the filets from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
