Filet Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Filet
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows for even cooking.
Season the Meat
Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Sear the Filet
Add the seasoned filets to the skillet and sear for about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
Add Butter and Aromatics
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the butter, fresh rosemary, and crushed garlic cloves to the pan. Baste the filets with the melted butter and aromatics.
Rest the Meat
Remove the filets from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
