1
Preparation
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2
Seasoning the Steak
Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the steak, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Cooking
Heat a skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.
4
Flipping the Steak
Flip the steak over, add butter, garlic cloves (smashed), and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, spooning the melted butter over the steak.
5
Resting
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
6
Serving
Slice the filet mignon and serve with your favorite sides.
