1
Prepare the Steak
Allow the filet mignon to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps ensure even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil over the steak, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it is very hot.
4
Sear the Steak
Place the filet mignon in the hot pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it to develop a nice crust.
5
Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the steak using tongs. Add the butter and fresh rosemary to the pan. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, spooning the melted butter over the steak as it cooks.
6
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time as needed for your preferred doneness.

7
Let it Rest
Remove the filet mignon from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
