Filet Mignon is one of the most expensive cuts of meat, so let's learn how to cook it properly!
Basic Sautéed Filet Mignon Recipe
Serves 2
Ingredients:
olive or vegetable oil
2 filet mignon steaks ( or boneless strip steaks or rib-eye or sirloin steaks), at least 1-inch thick
salt
freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to the skillet. Place the steaks in the skillet, season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook without turning for 4 minutes. Flip the steaks, season again and cook for another 4 minutes for medium rare, 5 minutes for medium, or longer for well done.
2. Once the proper degree of doneness has been reached, remove the steaks to a plate and let them rest.
3. Slice the steaks if desired, or serve whole.
