1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the filet mignon or bone-in filet from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
3
Heat the Pan
In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 2 tablespoons of clarified butter over medium-high heat until it's hot and shimmering.
4
Sear the Steak
Carefully place the seasoned steak in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it to develop a crust.
5
Flip the Steak
Using tongs, flip the steak over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness.
6
Rest the Steak
Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
7
Serve
Slice the steak against the grain and serve it with your favorite sides.
