1
Prepare the Steaks
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2
Season the Steaks
Rub each steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Heat the Pan
Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until it's very hot.
4
Sear the Steaks
Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness.
5
Add Butter and Rosemary
During the last minute of cooking, add butter and rosemary to the pan. Baste the steaks with the melted butter.
6
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
