Going to cook up some filet mignon on a pan on stove. Want to know how long I should cook for rare, I'm guessing somewhere around 4-5 min for each side with olive oil/butter on med/high?

4 min

let the meat come to room temp first.

I figured, my whole family likes their steak cooked well done+ so my experience is null

It all depends on how think the steak is and how hot the heat is. Do you not understand this simple concept of physics?

Get a fucking meat thermometer your moron.

This post says more about you than it does about OP

I think he's "not as think as you drunk he is"

hi quality meat, hi heat for 5 minutes each side.
also, dont use oil, part of the point of the bacon is to provide the cooking fat.
I like to top mine with a fried egg

bacon?

why would you put a fried egg on a good piece of steak?

>5 minutes each side.

thats going to be going well into medium territory senpai
