Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Beef filet
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, rosemary, paprika, cumin, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Rub the beef filets with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Cover the filets and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Remove the marinated beef filets from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Step 5

Sear the beef filets on each side for 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness, to achieve a nicely browned crust.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the filets to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 125°F (51°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the beef filets to a plate or cutting board. Tent them with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the beef filets with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
