How to make it:

This is pretty simple but it’s been taking me some practice to get the perfect medium rare.

• Prep your filet by seasoning well with salt and pepper and olive oil

• Heat up your cast iron skillet on high heat until it starts smoking, then add some olive oil

• Sear filet on each side for 1-2 minutes (I fear we may want to aim for closer to a little over 1 min on the largest sides and then 10-20 seconds on each short side)

• Remove from the pan and let rest on a wire rack. Remove the pan from heat and reduce stove to low.

• Once cooled, add butter rosemary and garlic to the pan. Add the filet back in once the butter is bubbling.

• Baste on each side for 30 seconds then flip and continue basting until the internal temp has reached 120 degrees F

• Remove from heat and let rest for 10ish mins

I’ve been having some trouble getting the perfect medium rare. So far, mine has been cooking slightly more medium. I fear I have been over searing it. Practice and updates coming soon. Too much red meat is bad for the heart so I have to space this out.
