1
Season the Steak
Pat the filet mignon pieces dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Prepare Garlic and Rosemary
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside. Get the fresh rosemary sprigs ready for cooking.

3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it's very hot.
4
Sear the Steaks
Add the seasoned filet mignon to the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side until a brown crust forms.
5
Flip and Add Aromatics
Flip the steaks and add the minced garlic and rosemary to the skillet. Sear for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
6
Check the Temperature
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
7
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before serving.

8
Cook Asparagus
In the same skillet, after removing the steaks, add the asparagus and sauté in the remaining juices for about 4-5 minutes until tender.
9
Prepare Mashed Potatoes
Prepare mashed potatoes according to your favorite recipe or use pre-made, and serve alongside the filet mignon.
