Perfect Filet Mignon cooked two different ways - pan seared and finished in the oven, or grilled!
Servings : 2
Ingredients
- 2 (about 6-ounces each) filet mignon steaks
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Oven Method
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- Let steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Rub steaks with olive oil.
- Combine salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
- Rub steaks all over with the salt and pepper mixture.
- Set a cast iron skillet over high heat and wait for the pan to get hot.
- When the skillet is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes; flip over and continue to cook for 2 more minutes.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and cook for 4 more minutes, or until internal temperature registers at 125˚F for medium-rare, or 130˚F for medium.
- Remove from oven; transfer steaks to a cutting board and let steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting. DO NOT cut right away - the steaks will continue to cook while they rest.
- Serve.
To Grill
- Preheat grill to HIGH heat.
- Oil your grill grates with avocado oil, vegetable oil, or any other high smoke point oil. Don’t use olive oil.
- Place the prepared steaks on the preheated grill. (NOTE: Remember to let the steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking - also, season the steaks with salt and pepper.)
- Cook the steaks for 5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature registers at 125˚F for medium-rare, or 130˚F for medium.
- Remove from Grill and let rest 5 minutes before cutting.
