   Seasoning

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

   During the last minute of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steak to enhance the flavor.

   Resting

   Once cooked to your liking, remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
