1
Season the Filet Mignon
Take the 6 oz Filet Mignon and pat it dry with a paper towel. This helps to create a good sear. Season both sides liberally with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.

3
Sear the Steak
Carefully place the seasoned Filet Mignon in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, allowing a crust to form.
4
Flip the Steak
Using tongs, flip the steak over and sear for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your preferred doneness.
5
Add Optional Toppings
In the last minute of cooking, add 1 tablespoon of butter and fresh herbs to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steak for added flavor.

6
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7
Serve
Slice the Filet Mignon against the grain and serve immediately, garnished with any remaining butter and herbs from the pan.
