Method
Preparation
Prepare the Filets
Remove the Wagyu filets from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
Season the Filets
Generously season each filet with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides. Press the seasoning into the meat to ensure it adheres well.
Prepare Garlic and Rosemary
Minced the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary finely.
Cooking
Sear the Filets
Add the Wagyu filets to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a rich brown crust forms. Do not move the filets during this time.
Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the filets over and add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary to the pan. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting the filets with the melted butter and aromatics.
Check Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time depending on your preferred doneness.
Rest the Filets
Once cooked to your preference, remove the filets from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Tent with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
