Meat

Optional Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Filet

    Pat the filet mignon dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Filet

    Carefully place the seasoned filet mignon in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it to develop a nice crust.

  2. 4

    Flip and Cook

    Using tongs, flip the filet and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Optional Toppings

    In the last minute of cooking, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and a tablespoon of butter to the pan. Baste the filet with the melted butter for added flavor.

  4. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
