Filet Mignon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper. Rub minced garlic and chopped rosemary onto both sides.

  3. 3

    Cooking

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steaks.

  4. 4

    Basting

    During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add butter to the skillet. Use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter for extra flavor.

  5. 5

    Resting

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
