Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps the steak cook more evenly.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the filet mignon to the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until a nice crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Aromatics

   Flip the steak and add minced garlic and fresh rosemary to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

6. 6

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
