This was my first time cooking Filet Mignon and surprisingly, it's fairly simple.
Here is what you'll need:
Filet Mignon with bacon wrapped around it
Olive Oil
Butter
Metal pan (that can go into the Oven)
Side items you want to serve with the meat
You will want to
pat off any access moisture from the meat with paper
towels. Set your pan on the stove while the Oven is preheating at
350 or
375 (depends on your level of doneness in the steak). Pour a thin layer
of
oil in the pan and while it's heating up, put a tablespoon of
butter
in the pan while it is heating up. Once the butter and oil begins to
bubble, add your meat (after you have seasoned it with salt and pepper).
Sear one side for
three minutes. Turn over the steaks and then put in
the oven for
15-25 minutes (depends on what level of doneness you want
it).
Take the steak out of the oven and put a little bit of butter on top of each filet.
Let the filet
rest for a few minutes (to help to redistribute the juices).
You can present your filet mignon like this:
or like this:
I hope you enjoy your meal as much as we did.
It's easier to watch it cook in the oven than try to cook it on top of the stove.
