I cant take full credit for this one – but when you see kids cooking amazing filets in Master Chef Jr. – I got over my fear and got out the skillet.
Starting with a good cut of meat-Im blessed to have access to Sinking Creek Grass Fed beef. Sinking Creek Beef
Grass fed has a unique tenderness and sweet flavor.
- Filets
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Two sprigs fresh rosemary

Rub both top and bottom of steak with salt and pepper.

Sear one side- important you dont move- steaks for 4 minutes. Be patient and have faith.
