Filet Mignon

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

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

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the filet mignon in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

  4. 4

    Add Aromatics

    During the last minute of cooking, add crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Then add butter and baste the steak with the melted butter using a spoon.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the steak and serve it warm with your favorite sides.
