Main Ingredients

▢ 2 pieces filet mignon steaks about 6 ounces each
▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
▢ 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
▢ 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
▢ 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
▢ 2 cloves garlic crushed
▢ 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Let the steaks sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms.
Add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted butter using a spoon.
Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and cook for another 5-6 minutes for medium-rare.
Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a perfect medium-rare filet mignon, use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is around 135°F (57°C) before removing from the oven.
