1
Season the Steak
Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Prepare the Cooking Surface
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.

3
Sear the Steak
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the filet mignon in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it.
4
Flip the Steak
Using tongs, flip the filet mignon over to the other side. Add the butter, crushed garlic cloves, and rosemary to the pan.
5
Baste the Steak
As the butter melts, use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter and garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to achieve your desired doneness.

6
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

7
Serve
Slice the filet mignon against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite sides.
