Method
Cooking the Filet Mignon
Prepare the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. This helps in cooking evenly.
Season the Steak
Rub both sides of each filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
Sear the Steak
Place the filet mignon in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip and sear the other side for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
Add Aromatics
In the last minute of cooking, add the crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steak for added richness.
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Optional Sides Preparation
Prepare Asparagus
Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until tender.
