Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.

   Season the Steak

   Rub both sides of the filet with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

   Heat the Pan

   In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat over medium-high heat until very hot.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Butter

   Flip the steak and add butter and rosemary to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, spooning the melted butter over the steak.

6. 6

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the filet from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
