1
Prepare the Steak
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking.
2
Preheat the Pan
In a heavy skillet or cast iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
3
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with kosher salt and black pepper.
4
Sear the Steak
Carefully place the filet mignon in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving it, until a nice crust forms.
5
Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the steak over and add the butter and rosemary to the pan. Continue cooking 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 necessary for desired doneness.
7
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your liking, remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8
Serve
Slice and serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides. Enjoy your delicious steak!
