1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then generously season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3
Heat the Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until hot.
4
Cook the Steaks
Add the filet mignon to the hot pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving it, until a golden brown crust forms.
5
Flip and Add Butter
Flip the steaks and add butter and rosemary (if using) to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, basting the steaks with the melted butter.
6
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C).
7
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
8
Serve
Slice and serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides.
