<human>:  What is the best way to cook a filet mignon?
<bot>: The best way to cook a filet mignon is to start by seasoning it generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Next, heat a skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot. Then, add a tablespoon of olive oil and the filet mignon to the skillet. Sear the steak for about 3 minutes on each side, or until it's cooked to the desired doneness. Finally, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
