Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the bone-in filet mignon from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature, about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with kosher salt and black pepper. Ensure that the seasoning covers the entire surface of the steak for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Carefully place the seasoned bone-in filet mignon in the hot pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving it, until a nice crust forms.

  3. 5

    Flip and Add Aromatics

    Flip the steak over and add the garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired doneness.

  4. 6

    Baste with Butter

    During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the butter to the pan. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steak, enhancing its flavor and richness.

  5. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, transfer the steak to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    After resting, slice the bone-in filet mignon against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked steak with your favorite sides.
