Carole’s Usda Prime Filet (6 Oz.) Recipe

Cooking the Filet

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

   Season the Steak

   Season both sides of the filet with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Sear the Steak

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the filet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

4. 4

   Add Butter and Rosemary

   In the last minute of cooking, add butter and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the filet as it finishes cooking.

5. 5

   Rest the Steak

   Transfer the filet to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
