Ingredients

  • 2 8 oz filet mignon
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh cracked peppercorns I like multi-colored ones but black peppercorns are fine
  • 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary

Instructions

  • Place the filets on a cutting board. Rub each side of the filet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • In a small bowl combine the peppercorns, salt, granulated garlic, and rosemary.
  • Rub 1 tablespoon of the mixed on each side of the filets. Allow the filets to rest for 15 minutes on the cutting board.
  • Place the Calphalon Signature™ Nonstick grill pan on the stove over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes or until hot.
  • Rub a paper towel with olive oil and using tongs, gently rub the oil all over the grill pan. (This will help to sear the steaks).
  • Carefully place the steaks on the grill pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side using the method to make perfect diamond grill marks if desired.
  • Check the internal temperature by using a thermometer (cooking for an additional 2-4 minutes if needed) and when it reaches 130 degrees remove the steaks from the grill pan and place on a cutting board. Tent with foil and allow to rest 5 minutes. (This should bring the temperature up to 135 which is a perfect medium-rare).
  • Serve on a plate along with a baked potato and balsamic green beans.
