Filet Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
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.
Season the Steaks
Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the Pan
Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until very hot.
Sear the Steaks
Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them.
Add Aromatics
Flip the steaks and add the garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Sear for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
Rest the Steaks
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes before serving.
