1
Season the Filet
Sprinkle the filet mignon with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides, ensuring even coverage.
2
Prepare the Cooking Surface
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil, allowing it to warm until shimmering.

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.
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.

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.
