1
Prepare the Steaks
Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps them cook evenly.
2
Season the Steaks
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat over medium-high heat until it is hot. Add the butter and let it melt.
4
Cook the Steaks
Add the steaks to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving them. Flip the steaks and add crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the pan.
5
Baste the Steaks
Using a spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter and pan juices as they cook. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
6
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.
7
Serve
Slice the steaks and serve with your favorite sides.
