Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    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.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

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

  3. 3

    Sear 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.

  4. 4

    Add Flavor

    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.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

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