Filet Mignon

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

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

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until it's hot but not smoking.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add the steaks to the pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Aromatics

    During the last minute of cooking, add butter, fresh rosemary, and crushed garlic cloves to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the filet mignon and serve with your favorite sides.
