1
Season the Steak
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the 7oz filet mignon. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
2
Preheat the Pan
In a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
3
Sear the Steak
Place the filet mignon in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it to develop a crust.
4
Flip and Add Flavorings
Flip the steak using tongs, add butter, garlic cloves (crushed), and the rosemary sprig to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
5
Baste the Steak
Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the filet mignon with the melted butter and juices for added flavor.
6
Check Temperature
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should read 130°F for medium-rare.
7
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

8
Prepare Asparagus
Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven at 400°F for about 15 minutes or until tender.
9
Prepare Baby Potatoes
Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and toss with butter, salt, and pepper.
