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
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
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
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
Check Temperature
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should be about 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
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
Serve
Slice the filet mignon and serve with your choice of sides.
