Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Add minced garlic and fresh rosemary.

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place the filet mignon in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it.

  4. 4

    Flip and Baste

    Flip the steak and add butter to the skillet. Baste the filet mignon with the melted butter while cooking for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time to your preferred doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the filet mignon and serve with your choice of sides, drizzling any remaining butter from the pan over the top.
