Filet Mignon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

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

  3. 3

    Searing

    Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the filet mignon.

  4. 4

    Cooking Time

    For medium-rare, cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Basting (Optional)

    During the last minute of cooking, add butter and a sprig of rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steak to enhance flavor.

  6. 6

    Resting

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
