Center Cut Filet (8 Oz) Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the center cut filet out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2. 2

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a cast-iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.

3. 3

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the filet with salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Place the filet in the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Flavor

   Flip the steak and add butter and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting the steak with the melted butter.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130-135°F (54-57°C).

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the filet and serve immediately, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
