Filet Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 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. 2

   Season the Steaks

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

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

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

4. 4

   Sear the Steaks

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

5. 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. 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. 7

   Rest the Steaks

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