1
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Take the filet mignon pieces out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2
Seasoning
Rub the olive oil over the filet mignon pieces. Generously sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of the meat, ensuring an even coating.

3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot.
4
Sear the Filet
Place the seasoned filet mignon in the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms. Avoid moving the meat around.
5
Flip and Add Aromatics
Flip the filet mignon to the other side and add the fresh rosemary and garlic cloves to the pan. Sear for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
6
Rest the Meat
Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5-7 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
