Filet Mignon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steak to the skillet.

  4. 4

    Cook to Desired Doneness

    Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the steak and add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan. Baste the steak with the melted butter for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time for desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
