Filet Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Rub the steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

3. 3

   Preheat the Skillet

   Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over high heat until very hot.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the steak to the skillet. Sear for about 4 minutes on one side without moving it, until a nice crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip and Baste

   Flip the steak and add butter and rosemary to the pan. As the butter melts, spoon it over the steak. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.

6. 6

   Rest and Serve

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides.
