Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Filet

    Sprinkle the filet mignon with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides, ensuring even coverage.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cooking Surface

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil, allowing it to warm until shimmering.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Filet

    Place the seasoned filet mignon in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it, allowing a nice crust to form.

  2. 4

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Flip the filet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if a different doneness is desired.

Serving

  1. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes if desired.
