1
Prepare the Filet
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps the meat cook more evenly.
2
Season the Meat
Pat the filets dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
3
Sear the Filets
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the filets and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
4
Add Flavorings
In the last minute of cooking, add the crushed garlic, rosemary, and butter to the pan. Tilt the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the filets.
5
Rest the Meat
Remove the filets from the skillet and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
