- 4 filet mignon steaks 4-6 ounces each
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Neutral flavored oil such as safflower oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil or peanut oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 garlic cloves smashed
- 4 prigs fresh Rosemary
Instructions
- Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
