Filet Essentials Pan Seared Beef Filet Recipes

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 425f (220c).
• Sprinkle the filet with salt and pepper.
• Add the oil and butter to an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
• When the butter melts, and the foaming subsides, add the filet.
• Sear about two minutes per side.
• Place the skillet into the preheated oven, for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for five minutes.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Serve with some garlic mash potatoes, and maybe a veggie. Enjoy.
• Chef's Note: When I'm doing filets, I avoid putting cheese or other ingredients into my mash potatoes; just some baked garlic, salt, pepper and milk. I don't want the side dishes to overpower the taste of that wonderful filet.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:

• Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Rub seasoning into meat with your fingers.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add filets and cook 5-7 minutes on each side.
• Remove from heat, cover filets with foil and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Season the steak on both sides with the salt and place on a rack set inside a sheet pan for 10 minutes at room temperature while you preheat your oven.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Insert a probe thermometer horizontally through the side of the steak and roast the steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 120 degrees F, about 30 minutes (see Cook's Note). Remove the steak from the oven and rest uncovered for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a 12-inch cast-iron pan over high heat until it reaches at least 600 degrees F, about 10 minutes. (You'll know you're close when a half teaspoon water dropped into the middle of the pan is completely evaporated in 5 seconds).
• Brush a very light coat of peanut oil onto both sides of the steak. Sear steak on each side for 1 minute.
• Rest the steak on a rack 5 minutes, and then slice diagonally against the grain to serve.

Steps:

• Season the Filet Mignons with salt and pepper. Combine the butter and oil in a large saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot and foam has subsided, add the beef. Sear for three minutes per side for rare. Transfer to a warm platter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Season filets with kosher salt and pepper.
• Heat an oven-proof pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
• Add oil and heat briefly.
• Sear filets in oil on one side for 4-5 minutes. Turn them over, place the pan in the oven, and roast to desired doneness. (For medium rare that would be approximately 7 minutes.).
• Allow filets to rest 5 minutes before serving.
