1
Prepare the Steak
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Rub the steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until it is very hot.
4
Sear the Steak
Add the steak to the pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.
5
Flip and Add Aromatics
Flip the steak and add crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the pan. Sear for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
6
Baste with Butter
During the last minute of cooking, add butter to the pan and baste the steak with the melted butter using a spoon.
7
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
