Filet Mignon* Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

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

2. 2

   Season the Steak

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

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the filet mignon to the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through.

5. 5

   Add Aromatics

   In the last minute of cooking, add the fresh rosemary, garlic cloves (smashed), and butter to the pan. Baste the steak with the melted butter and aromatics.

6. 6

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
