How to Cook Filet Mignon | F.N. Sharp Recipes

If you’re looking for the best way to cook one of the best cuts of steak, then you’ve found it with this filet mignon video recipe!

Filet mignon comes from the tenderloin, which is one of the most expensive and leanest cuts of steak. This can make it a little difficult to cook it to your desired internal temp, whether you take it medium rare with the perfect juicy pink center, or a little more well done (we won’t judge, but we won’t understand, either 😜).

In this video recipe, F.N. Sharp Brand Ambassador, Justin Grimm, cooks an 8 oz filet mignon in a pan with oil, butter, garlic and herbs to serve up a super juicy and flavorful steak 😋

Now round up your ingredients, get an F.N. Sharp Steak Knife ready and let’s make some perfectly cooked (and perfectly sliced) filet mignon!

The Best Pan-Seared Filet Mignon Recipe

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Tie cooking twine around the filet to hold it together while cooking. Heat pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Sprinkle the filet with sea salt and cracked black pepper, then place face-down in the pan to sear. Sprinkle the other side of the filet with sea salt and cracked black pepper while searing. After 3 minutes, use a pair of tongs to check for a nice even sear, then flip to the other side. Once the second side is seared, turn the filet onto its side and slowly roll, pausing in 15 second intervals to sear all the way around. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and add a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme. Next, add a garlic clove, carefully tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the filet with the herb and garlic-infused butter and oil as it accumulates towards the bottom edge of the pan. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for about 5 to 7 minutes before slicing with an (F.N.) sharp steak knife 😜
