1
Prepare the Steak
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Sear the Steak
Add the filet mignon to the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side until a brown crust forms.
5
Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the steak over and add the butter, garlic cloves (smashed), and rosemary to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, basting the steak with the melted butter.
6
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.
7
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.

8
Prepare Asparagus
Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until tender.
9
Boil Potatoes
Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender, then drain and serve.
