1
Prepare the Steaks
Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steaks
Rub each steak with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Preheat the Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat until it is very hot.
4
Cook the Steaks
Place the steaks in the hot pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip the steaks, add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan.
5
Baste the Steaks
As the second side cooks for about 4-5 minutes, tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and juices.
6
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should be about 130°F (54°C).
7
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.
