<u>Cooking meat such as filet mignon:</u>
- Pat the meat dry with paper towels
- Let sit for 20-30 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC)
- Season liberally with salt and pepper. Cover all sides with seasoning
- Heat up an oven safe pan and keep on high for 5 minutes until scorching hot. Add a tablespoon of oil
- Once you see the oil start to smoke, add the meat to the pan. Do not touch the meat until the crust has formed, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use tongs and flip the steak.
- Start to add some butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan to create more flavor to the meat.
- Once the butter is completely melted, start spooning it on top of the meat for 2-3 minutes.
- Put the pan in the oven right away and cook:
- 6 minutes - rare
- 7 minutes - medium rare
- 8 minutes - medium
- 9 minutes - medium well
- 10 minutes - well
- Take the pan out of the oven and gently put the meat on a cutting board.

Being innocent means to not have done anything but being guilty is having done something. For example, two people are in a court and the judge is deciding who the criminal is, the person who did nothing wrong is innocent and the person who committed the crime is guilty. Insult and compliment are antonyms because they mean two different things. An insult is rude while a compliment is kind. Pass and fail is pretty obvious as well as permanent and temporary. They are opposites of each other, therefore are antonyms.
