Cooking Instructions

1

Preparing the Steak

Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

2

Seasoning

Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then sprinkle salt and black pepper generously on both sides.

3

Searing the Steak

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the filet mignon and sear for 4 minutes without moving them.

4

Flipping and Adding Aromatics

Flip the steak and add butter, minced garlic, and rosemary to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting the steak with melted butter using a spoon.

5

Resting the Steak

Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes.

6

Preparing the Asparagus

While the steak is resting, trim the ends of the asparagus. In the same skillet, add the asparagus and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.

7

Finishing Touches

Add lemon zest to the asparagus and mix well. Serve the filet mignon alongside the sautéed asparagus.
