Filet Mignon 8oz Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Sear the Steak

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the filet mignon in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

4. 4

   Add Butter and Herbs

   During the last minute of cooking, add the butter and rosemary (if using) to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steak for added flavor.

5. 5

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the filet mignon and serve immediately, optionally with your choice of sides.
