Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Filet Mignon

Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the steak cook more evenly.

Season the Steak

Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then generously season with salt and black pepper.

Sear the Steak

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the filet mignon and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving it.

Add Aromatics

Flip the steak and add minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and butter to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, basting the steak with the melted butter and juices.

Check for Doneness

For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time according to desired doneness.

Rest the Steak

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

Serve

Slice the filet mignon and serve with your favorite sides.
