Absolute Flavourful Filet Mignon Perfect Steak step by step
- Leave aged steak out on countertop to achieve room temperature..
- Pre-heat oven heavy ridged non stick pan or cast iron skillet. No oil, just heated up on high heat..
- As pan is heating up, cover one side of filet with one tbsp of olive oil, same other side.
- Sprinkle salt on top and bottom of steak over the oil..
- Cover same liberally with cracked black pepper..
- When skillet is starting to smoke, add t tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. Then immediately place filet sprinkled side down. Get a nice char after about 2—3 minutes. Then flip and do the same for other side..
- Once char is to your liking, take the whole skillet and place in broiler for 5-8 minutes, depending on the doneness that you want. I like mine medium to medium rare so I leave in for about 6 minutes directly under the broiler flame..
- Pull the skillet and plate the steak on its serving dish. Do not cut to check for doneness, use time in broiler as your guide..
- Put the pat or slice of garlic herb butter on top and LET THE STEAK REST FOR 5-6 minutes. Do not cut, let the juices go back to the center. If you cut it, it will be dry..
- Add sides that you wish and serve..
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Season steak with salt and pepper on both sides. When oil is just about to smoke, add steak. When done right, it is the perfect dish for any special occasion, but the prospect of preparing it can be daunting. Filet Mignon is cut from the Beef Tenderloin & it's a great steak to cook at home.
