Method
Preparation
Prep the Steaks
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.
Season the Steaks
Rub both sides of the filet mignon steaks with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary. Ensure the steaks are evenly coated.
Cooking
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Sear the Steaks
Carefully add the seasoned filet mignon steaks to the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your preferred doneness.
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Slice the filet mignon if desired and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
