Indulge in Maudeen’s Center-Cut Filet, a succulent cut of tender beef, expertly seasoned and grilled to perfection. Each bite melts in your mouth, offering a rich, buttery flavor that is complemented by a hint of smokiness. Served with a side of seasonal vegetables and your choice of gourmet sauce, this dish promises a luxurious dining experience that will leave you craving more.

Take the center-cut filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in even cooking.

Prepare the Steak

Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Season the Steak

Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place the filet in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your desired doneness.

Sear the Steak

During the last minute of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steak for added flavor.

Add Flavor

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides.
