Filet Mignon Ingredients

Method

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 before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

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

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add the seasoned filet mignon to the hot pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it to develop a nice crust.

  5. 5

    Flip and Add Aromatics

    Flip the steak and add the garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time as needed for desired doneness.

  6. 6

    Baste the Steak

    During the last few minutes of cooking, add butter to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak to baste it.

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the filet mignon from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice the filet mignon and serve with the pan juices drizzled on top. Enjoy your perfectly cooked filet mignon!
