Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Preparation

   Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps them cook evenly.

2. 2

   Seasoning the Steaks

   Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.

3. 3

   Searing the Steaks

   Preheat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over high heat. Once hot, add the steaks to the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Adding Flavor

   In the last minute of cooking, add butter and crushed garlic cloves to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks for added flavor.

5. 5

   Resting

   Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

6. 6

   Serving

   Serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides, drizzled with the pan juices.
