Tenderloin Filet 6oz Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the tenderloin filet from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Filet

   Rub the tenderloin filet with olive oil, then sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over both sides of the steak. Gently rub the seasonings into the meat.

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Cook the Filet

   Place the seasoned tenderloin filet in the hot skillet. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a nice crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip the Filet

   Carefully flip the filet using tongs. Add fresh rosemary and butter to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the filet with the melted butter and rosemary.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time as necessary for desired doneness.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Once cooked, remove the filet from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the tenderloin filet against the grain and serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional fresh rosemary.
