1
Prepare the Steaks
Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steaks
Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.
4
Sear the Steaks
Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip the steaks.
5
Add Flavor
Add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan. As the butter melts, spoon it over the steaks to baste them.
6
Cook to Desired Doneness
Continue cooking the steaks for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
7
Rest and Serve
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
