Filet Mignon* Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

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

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it is hot.

4. 4

   Cook the Steak

   Place the seasoned filet mignon in the hot pan. For a 4oz steak, cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. For an 8oz steak, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.

5. 5

   Add Butter and Rosemary

   During the last minute of cooking, add the butter and fresh rosemary to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steak to add flavor.

6. 6

   Rest the Steak

   Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
