Filet Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Filet

Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2

Season the Steaks

Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

3

Heat the Pan

Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until very hot.

4

Sear the Steaks

Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them.

5

Add Aromatics

Flip the steaks and add the garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Sear for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.

6

Baste with Butter

During the last minute of cooking, add butter to the pan and use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks.

7

Rest the Steaks

Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes before serving.
