Method

Preparation

1

Preparing the Filet

Start by removing the filet mignon from the refrigerator and allowing it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help it cook more evenly.

2

Seasoning the Filet

Pat the filet dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the filet mignon.

Cooking

3

Heating the Pan

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

4

Searing the Filet

Once the pan is hot, carefully place the seasoned filet mignon in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the filet. Adjust the time if you prefer it more well-done.

5

Resting the Filet

After searing, remove the filet from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing.

Serving

6

Shaving the Filet

Using a sharp knife, shave the filet mignon into thin slices against the grain.

7

Garnishing the Dish

Arrange the shaved filet on a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
