Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Filet

    Sprinkle the filet mignon with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary. Ensure both sides are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Let it Rest

    Allow the seasoned filet to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.

  2. 4

    Sear the Filet

    Once the oil is hot, carefully place the filet in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it to achieve a nice crust.

  3. 5

    Flip and Sear

    Flip the filet using tongs and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.

  4. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
