STEAKHOUSE STEAKS

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 37m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 (2-inch-thick) filets mignons, tied (10 ounces each)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fine fleur de sel
2 tablespoons coarsely cracked black peppercorns
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pat dry the filets mignons with paper towels. Brush the filets lightly all over with the oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the filets on all sides in the mixture, pressing lightly to help the salt and pepper adhere. The steaks should be evenly coated with the salt and pepper.
  • When the pan is extremely hot, add the steaks and sear evenly on all sides (top, bottom, and sides) for about 2 minutes per side. (Be sure the cooking area is well ventilated.) You'll probably need about 3 turns to sear the sides and about 10 minutes total.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and arrange all the filets flat in the pan. Top each with a tablespoon of butter, then place the pan in the oven. Cook the filets for 8 to 12 minutes to 120 degrees for rare and 125 degrees for medium-rare. Remove the steaks to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

RESTAURANT STYLE FILET MIGNON RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Restaurant Style Filet Mignon Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by lauramae

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce ea.) filet mignon
4 teaspoons kosher salt
4 teaspoons freshly cracked pepper
1 stick butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Take 1/2 stick of butter, softened, and mix well with the peeled, chopped garlic, the chopped herbs, and the lemon zest. Form into a log and refrigerate. Generously season the filet's with salt and pepper, approximately 1 teaspoon of seasoning per side. Heat the remainder of the butter (1/2 stick) and the olive oil in a cast iron skillet to a screaming hot temperature. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Sear the filets in a screaming hot pan for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until a nice brown crust has formed. 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, place in the center of the 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 nice thick piece to place on top. 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. (Note, this is medium rare kids. Some people don't like to eat cows while they are mooing, so clearly you can cook longer if your afraid of the pink.)

THE PERFECT FILET MIGNON



The Perfect Filet Mignon image

A luxe cut of meat like filet mignon needs little embellishment to shine. It's all about technique-and plenty of butter! Searing the steaks creates a beautiful crust and basting them with melted butter infused with garlic and thyme helps keep them tender. A quick pan sauce that comes together while the meat rests is the perfect finishing touch.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Two 7- to 8-ounce filets mignons, such as USDA Prime Beef Filet Mignon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
4 sprigs thyme
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 shallot, finely diced
1/4 cup brandy
3/4 cup light red wine, such as Pinot Noir
1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Steps:

  • Pat the steaks dry, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Firmly press the seasoning into the meat.
  • Heat the oil in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the steaks and cook until a golden crust forms, about 2 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes (see Cook's Note). Flip again and cook for 2 minutes. Flip once more and add 4 tablespoons of the butter and the thyme and garlic. Let cook, undisturbed, until the butter stops foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Tilt the pan slightly so the butter pools and spoon it over the steaks. Continue to cook the steaks, basting constantly, until they are medium rare and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 118 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer the steaks to a plate to rest. Discard the garlic, thyme and fat from the skillet, but do not wipe out the browned bits.
  • Place the same skillet over medium heat and add the shallots and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the brandy. Return the skillet to the heat and continue to cook over medium until the skillet is dry, being careful as it may ignite, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the liquid reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Add the beef stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve, slice the steak, spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chives.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (10-ounce) filet mignon
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fleur de sel
1 tablespoon coarsely cracked black peppercorns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, optional
Roquefort Chive Sauce, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 ounces French Roquefort cheese, crumbled (4 ounces with rind)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and brush them lightly with vegetable oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the steaks in the mixture, pressing lightly to evenly coat all sides.
  • When the skillet is ready, add the steaks and sear them evenly on all sides for about 2 minutes per side, for a total of 10 minutes.
  • Top each steak with a tablespoon of butter, if using, and place the skillet in the oven. Cook the steaks until they reach 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium-rare on an instant-read thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.)
  • Remove the steaks to a serving platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Serve hot with Roquefort Chive Sauce on the side.
  • Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook at a low boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has become thick and creamy, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the cheese, salt, pepper and chives and whisk rapidly until the cheese melts.
  • Yield: 4 servings

PERFECT FILET MIGNON RECIPE



Perfect Filet Mignon Recipe image

Learn how to cook the best filet mignon perfectly like a steakhouse, pan seared in a cast iron skillet & finished in the oven (with time chart!). This filet mignon recipe is EASY, juicy and flavorful.

Provided by Maya | Wholesome Yum

Categories     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tbsp Unsalted butter ((softened, divided))
1/2 tbsp Fresh rosemary
1/2 tbsp Fresh thyme
1 clove Garlic ((minced))
4 8-oz Filet mignon steaks ((at room temperature))
Sea salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove your filet mignon from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. (This will ensure even cooking.)
  • Mash together half of the butter (1 tablespoon, 14 g), rosemary, thyme, and garlic. (Sprinkle in a little sea salt if using unsalted butter.) Form into a log and refrigerate until the last step.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
  • Trim any connective tissue around the edges of the beef tenderloins. Season the filets liberally with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
  • Heat the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, until the skillet is very hot. Melt the remaining butter (1 tablespoon, 14 g) in the skillet.
  • Add the filets. Sear for 2 minutes on each side, without moving them around.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake to desired level of doneness. (I recommend medium rare.) For a 2 in (5 cm)thick filet, that is 5 minutes for rare, 6 minutes for medium rare, 7 minutes for medium, or 8 minutes for medium well. Use a meat thermometer to check for the right temperature - 120 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare, 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, and 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) for medium well. The temperature will rise by another 5 degrees F while resting (see next step).
  • Remove the filets from the oven and transfer to a plate. Top each with 1/2 tablespoon (7 g) of herb butter (slice the log of herb butter into four parts and put one on each steak). Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality filet mignon steaks, at least 1 inch thick, for the best results.
  • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture, which can cause the steaks to steam rather than sear.
  • Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper, or use a pre-made steak seasoning blend, before cooking.
  • Sear the steaks in a hot skillet or grill over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a nice crust forms.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the steaks for an additional 5-7 minutes per side, or until the steaks reach an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
  • Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before serving, tented with foil, to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve the filet mignon steaks with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, asparagus, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Making restaurant-style filet mignon at home is a great way to enjoy a delicious and elegant meal without the expense of going out to eat. By following these tips, you can easily create a perfectly cooked filet mignon steak that is tender, juicy, and flavorful.
