Hollywood Filet Mignon Recipes

FILET MIGNON FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Place a large, oven-proof skillet in the oven as it preheats.
• Bring steaks to room temperature. Rub with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Remove the hot skillet from the oven carefully and place it on a burner set to high heat. Leave the oven on.
• Place steaks into the dry pan immediately and sear, turning with tongs, 1 to 2 minutes on both sides.
• Transfer the pan back into the preheated oven and cook until desired doneness is reached, 3 to 5 minutes. For medium doneness, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a warm platter and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes; the steaks will continue to cook during this process and the internal temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees.
• Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic and saute until shallot is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in cream; let cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Turn heat to low and add Gorgonzola cheese. Let cheese melt; season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with steaks.

THE PERFECT FILET MIGNON ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176C). Remove the roast from its package and allow it to rest on your counter at least 30 minutes before roasting.
• In a large roasting pan with a roasting rack that fits most roasting pans, lay the slices of the prosciutto on the bottom of the rack horizontally, overlapping slices. Place the Filet Mignon roast on top of the prosciutto. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and garlic powder generously.
• Scatter sliced onions on top.
• Pour about 4 cups of water into the bottom of the roasting pan, (under the roasting rack) just below the meat but not touching. Drizzle olive oil over the meat.
• Cook for 15 to 20 minutes per pound, about 2 hours. Rotate the roast every half hour. Ovens will vary, so it's best to use a meat thermometer, to help you to roast to your liking, rare, medium-rare, or medium.
• Remove from the rack, and place onto the cutting board, allow the roast to sit for 5 to 7 minutes before carving.
• Carve into 1-inch slices. Remove the string, and transfer slices onto a serving platter. Serve immediately. Discard the onions and prosciutto.
• Serves 8 to 10

HOW TO COOK FILET MIGNON RECIPE BY TASTY

• 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.

GRILLED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Rest the steaks. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and set them on the counter while you prepare the mushroom compound butter.
• Cook the mushrooms. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to the pan. Add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic cook for another 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low and add in the cleaned and chopped mushrooms. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms turn brown and soft, and they have reduced in volume by half, stirring occasionally.
• Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add in the red wine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mushrooms have absorbed all the red wine liquid. Remove form heat and allow to cool completely.
• Make the mushroom compound butter. Stir the mushroom and red wine mixture in with the softened butter. Set aside.
• Season the steak. Season the steaks on both sides with the steak rub.
• Preheat the grill. Preheat your preferred grill for 2-zone cooking. Aim for 225 degrees F if using a pellet smoker, or an overall temp of 350 degrees F if using a gas or charcoal grill.
• Grill the filet mignon. Place the steaks on the grill grates over indirect heat, close the lid, and cook until the steaks are 10 degrees away from your target temperature , flipping once halfway through (Rare = 115 degrees F, Medium Rare = 125, Medium = 135, Medium Well = 145, Well = 150 degrees F). This will take approximately 45 minutes if cooking your meat to medium rare.
• Prep your serving platter. While your steaks are cooking, prepare your serving platter by placing a spoonful of the compound butter on the platter where each steak will go after it is finished cooking.
• Sear the steaks. Transfer steaks to the direct heat to sear. If you have a pellet smoker, you can remove the steaks from the heat and increase the temp to sear, or you can sear in a cast iron skillet. Sear for a couple minutes per side until the steaks reach your preferred target internal temperature. (Rare = 125 degrees F, Medium Rare = 135, Medium = 145, Medium Well = 155, Well = 160 degrees F).
• Rest and serve. Remove the steaks to the serving platter and place each steak directly over the compound butter on the platter. Top with more compound butter and rest for 10 minutes while the butter melts. Serve and enjoy.

EASY GRILLED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the grill to high heat.
• Combine the salt and black pepper in a bowl and rub onto both sides of the steaks.
• Oil the grill grates using a high smoke point oil, like grapeseed or avocado oil; add 1 tablespoon oil to a folded paper towel, and using a pair of tongs, rub the oiled towel over the grates.
• Place the steaks on the grill.
• Cook the steaks 5 to 6 minutes per side or until they almost reach the preferred doneness , up to 9 minutes per side for well done. (The meat will continue to cook as it rests.)
• Remove from the grill and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes under foil.
• Plate with your favorite sides and a sauce or butter and enjoy.

MARINATED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
• When the marinade is ready, place the steaks in the same bowl, or even a Ziplock bag, with the filet mignon marinade and allow them to soak - or marinate - for two hours.
• It is recommended longer for steaks of less tenderness, but for a filet mignon, less is more.
• Make sure to leave the marinade out on the kitchen counter at room temperature.
• The steak needs to be neither hot nor cold when it is ready to be grilled. This is the longest part of the process, but fortunately, it also is the easiest.
• When the steak is done marinating, it is time to heat up the grill. For the best result, the grill needs to be around 450 degrees but not more than 500 degrees. On most grills, this is around 75 percent.
• Not only do you need to know your grill temperature, you also need to know steak temperatures. This is vital in cooking the perfect grilled filet mignon.
• Your steak is cooked extra-rare when it is very red and cold with a temperature of 115 to 120 degrees; rare when it has a cold red center and is soft, 125-130 degrees; medium rare when it has a warm red center and is firmer, 130-140 degrees; medium when the steak is pink and firm, 140-150 degrees; medium well when there is a small amount of pink in the center, 150-155 degrees and well-done when the steak is gray-brown throughout and firm, 160-212 degrees.
• Now that your grill has reached the correct temperature and you know what temperature your steaks need to reach in order to be cooked the way you and your guests like, it is time to throw the steaks on the grill and close the lid.
• Grill for six minutes, rotating halfway through. Continue flipping and grilling until your steak reaches its desired temperature.
• Make sure to never, ever puncture the steak with the tongs while rotating, it can ruin the steaks texture and tenderness. Just be very careful when turning.
• For example, an additional six minutes would reach 145 to 150 degrees internal temperatures.
• Remove the steaks from the grill and make sure to lightly foil the steaks for an additional five minutes while the juices finish settling in the meat.
