Filet Mignon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Steak

Take the filet mignon out of 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 olive oil over the steak and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add fresh rosemary on top.

3

Preheat the Pan

Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over medium-high heat until it's very hot.

4

Sear the Steak

Place the filet mignon in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium rare (adjust time for desired doneness).

5

Add Butter

In the last minute of cooking, add the butter to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak for extra flavor.

6

Rest and Serve

Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides.
