1
Season the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Preheat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
3
Sear the Steak
Carefully place the filet mignon in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms. Avoid moving the steak around to ensure a good sear.
4
Flip and Add Aromatics
Flip the steak using tongs. Add the crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
5
Baste with Butter
During the last minute of cooking, add the butter to the pan. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the filet mignon for added flavor.
6
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

7
Prepare Asparagus
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to ice water to stop cooking.
8
Roast Baby Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender.
