1
Prepare the Steaks
Remove the beef tenderloin filets from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.
2
Season the Steaks
Rub the olive oil over both sides of the steaks. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly on both sides, followed by the chopped fresh rosemary.
3
Preheat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
4
Cook the Steaks
Place the steaks on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steaks.
5
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
