Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Take the bone-in filet mignon and pat it dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the seasoned filet mignon in the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.

  2. 3

    Flip the Steak

    Using tongs, flip the steak over and add the fresh rosemary and smashed garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

  3. 4

    Baste the Steak

    For added flavor, tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the hot oil and juices from the skillet for the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Resting

  1. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thick slices. Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
