For the Filet Mignon

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary on both sides.

  3. 3

    Searing

    Heat a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.

  4. 4

    Flipping

    Flip the filet mignon and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Adding Butter

    In the last minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the filet to enhance the flavor.

  6. 6

    Resting

    Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
