Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Take the Wagyu filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the meat cook evenly.

Season the Meat
Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Sear the Filet Mignon
Add the seasoned filet mignon to the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side or until a golden brown crust forms.

Flip and Add Butter
Flip the filet mignon and add the unsalted butter and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, basting the meat with the melted butter using a spoon.

Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time as necessary.

Rest the Meat
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
