Prepare the Filet Mignon
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps to ensure even cooking.

Rest and Serve
Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute. Serve warm.
