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

Cook the filet
Place the seasoned filet in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip the filet and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness).
- 5
Rest the filet
Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- 6
Garnish and serve
If desired, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary and serve immediately.
