1
Season the Filet
Pat the boneless filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
2
Heat the Skillet
In a heavy skillet or cast iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

3
Sear the Filet
Carefully place the seasoned filet mignon in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.
4
Flip the Filet
Using tongs, flip the filet mignon and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time as needed for desired doneness.
5
Add Optional Garnish
If using, add the butter and rosemary sprigs to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Baste the filet with the melted butter using a spoon.

6
Rest the Filet
Remove the filet from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
7
Serve
Slice the filet against the grain and serve immediately, drizzled with any pan juices if desired.
