Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oz filet mignon
coarse salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, or other high-heat, neutral oil of choice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic

Steps:

  • On a cutting board, pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels and let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
  • Generously season all sides of the filet mignon with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a medium, oven-safe stainless steel or cast iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Add the grapeseed oil.
  • Once the oil beings to smoke, add the filet mignon to the pan. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes, until a crust has formed.
  • Use tongs to flip the steak over, then add the butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan.
  • Tilt the pan and spoon the butter continuously over the steak for 2-3 minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven for 7 minutes for a medium rare steak.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Enjoy!
