Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Season the Filet Mignon

   Pat the filet mignon pieces dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Preheat the Pan

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

   Sear the Filet Mignon

   Add the seasoned filet mignon to the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them.

4. 4

   Flip and Add Aromatics

   Flip the filet mignon and add the garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Sear for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
