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. This helps it cook evenly.
2
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the Pan
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.
4
Sear the Steak
Add the filet mignon to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a brown crust forms.
5
Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the steak over and add the butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the melted butter.
6
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.
7
Serve
Slice the filet mignon against the grain, serve it with your choice of side, and enjoy!
