Filet Mignon

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steaks

    Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the filet mignon steaks to the skillet. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Flavor

    In the last minute of cooking, add the butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks as they finish cooking.

  4. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender steak.
