Center Cut Grande Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

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

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the filet mignon to the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the steak and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

5. 5

   Add Aromatics

   During the last minute of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary to the pan. Baste the filet with the melted butter for added flavor.

6. 6

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice the filet mignon and serve with your choice of sides.
