Best Way To Cook Filet Mignon Indoors Recipes

Steps:

• On a cutting board, pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels and let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
• Generously season all sides of the filet mignon with salt and pepper.
• Heat a medium, oven-safe stainless steel or cast iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Add the grapeseed oil.
• Once the oil beings to smoke, add the filet mignon to the pan. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes, until a crust has formed.
• Use tongs to flip the steak over, then add the butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan.
• Tilt the pan and spoon the butter continuously over the steak for 2-3 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to the oven for 7 minutes for a medium rare steak.
• Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Return the pan to the oven, then broil the meat quickly for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Turn the meat with tongs, as using a fork allows meat juices to escape. Turn the broiler off, and then set your oven temperature at 500 degrees F without removing the pan from the oven. If you prefer a rare filet mignon, use a meat thermometer to ensure the center of the meat reaches a safe temperature of at least 135 degrees F, which takes from 1 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness. For medium, cook filet mignon for 2 to 7 minutes -- until the meat reaches a temperature of at least 140 degrees. For a steak cooked medium-well, cook filet mignon for 4 to 9 minutes -- to a temperature of at least 150 degrees. Turn the filet mignon once about halfway through the cooking time. Remove the filet mignon from the oven and place it on a carving board. Cover the meat loosely with aluminum foil, then allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Carve the meat, and then transfer it to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle the filet mignon with sea salt or kosher salt, and then serve.

Steps:

• Mix together 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) softened butter with the minced garlic, the chopped herbs and the lemon zest. Form into a log and refrigerate.
• Generously season the filets with salt and pepper, approximately 1 teaspoon of seasoning per side.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat the remainder 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick) and the olive oil in a cast iron skillet to a screaming hot temperature (not burn you house down hot, though). Sear the filets in the hot pan for about 2-3 minutes per side or until a nice brown crust has formed. Once they're down, don't move them around.
• While the steak is searing, continue to spoon the residual butter in the pan on top of the meat while it's cooking. Once both sides are seared, carefully place the entire skillet with steak in the center of the preheated oven for about 6-8 minutes, depending upon how thick your steak is.
• In the last minute of cooking, take the log of compound butter and slice a thick piece to place on top; set aside.
• Your steak will be ready when it is approximately 135 degrees in the center, or when you push lightly on the top center of the steak and it gently and slowly bounces back. Watch carefully especially if your steaks are thinner. Top with reserved compound butter.
