Filet Mignon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps in even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add the filet mignon to the pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.

  5. 5

    Flip and Add Butter

    Flip the steak over, add the butter and rosemary to the pan, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting with the melted butter.

  6. 6

    Check Temperature

    Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should be about 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice the filet mignon and serve with your choice of sides.
