8 Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steaks

   Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

2. 2

   Season the Steaks

   Drizzle olive oil over the steaks. Rub the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into both sides of each steak.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

4. 4

   Sear the Steaks

   Add the steaks to the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear each side for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is reached.

5. 5

   Add Butter and Herbs

   During the last minute of cooking, add butter and fresh rosemary to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks for added flavor.

6. 6

   Rest the Steaks

   Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice and serve the filet mignon while warm, optionally garnished with additional rosemary.
