1
Prep the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over high heat until it is very hot.
4
Sear the Steak
Place the filet mignon in the hot skillet and sear for about 4 minutes without moving it. Flip the steak and sear the other side for another 4 minutes for medium-rare.
5
Add Butter and Herbs
In the last minute of cooking, add butter and fresh rosemary to the pan. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter.
6
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
