I like this voice more than I like Filet Mignon. And trust me, I LOVE Filet Mignon.

nuthin aggressive about that seasoning baby

This is by far the BEST advice I’ve ever been given for steak preparation. It’s fantastic. Made it the last two Christmases. Today I’m making it with a different and less expensive cut, the sirloin. (Not a holiday so keeping things a bit less extravagant.) Just waiting those final 10 minutes for them to sit. They look great and I’m starving. 😂

Ingredients
for 1 serving:

6 oz filet mignon (170 g)
coarse salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, or other high-heat, neutral oil of choice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic

How to do it:


On a cutting board, pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels and let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C).

Generously season all sides of the filet mignon with salt and pepper.

Heat a medium, oven-safe stainless steel or cast iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Add the grapeseed oil.

Once the oil beings to smoke, add the filet mignon to the pan. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes, until a crust has formed.

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.

Enjoy!

Tried cooking my first filet because I got tired of paying $50 plus for one out of the house, $9 filet from wal mart and followed these instructions, better than restaurant quality even. Perfect presentation and set of instructions 👌

Little Tip: I made this last night. When you put it in the oven, either have it at 350 instead of 450, or put it at 450 for 3 minutes less than the chart says

Tried this last night. Worked perfectly. Best meal I've had in awhile. Thanks for the know-how.

Wow, Alexis has improved so much in narration! I remember people criticizing her voice for being bored and monotone but you can easily hear the difference now

[poothowell]

I want this lady to narrate my life. Or, like, do podcasts. Or read audiobooks.

Tried it and loved it!!! Got "Wowzaaa" reaction from my family! Thank you!

This recipe is incredible recipe. Instead of salt, I use garlic salt and I also use onion powder and black pepper and that makes a more herbal seasoning. Also I follow this recipe except I cook it on medium heat, 3 minutes on each side and 4 minutes in the oven at 450. That makes a perfect medium rare.

Thank you so much for this video! Didn’t go exactly as planned but turned out great 😁👍🏾

Made this again for the family on Xmas. The Rosemary is the key! My 8 oz filet was medium rare after 5 min in the oven...restaurant quality with sautéed spinach and lyonnaise potatoes.

I’ve been cooking Filet Mignon steaks for my family using this method for a few years now and it’s always perfect. Thank you for teaching me how to make the perfect steak.

If you want to baste the steak, put the garlic and herbs in with the pan cool and let it come up to temp. THEN put in the steak.Take out the garlic before it blackens. The herbs, (I use rosemary) are actually fantastic as they harden and fry. I take them out, crumble them over the steak, then make a pan sauce with the drippings and butter to ladle over my potatoes (crispy fried, baked or mashed). Add a few onions and thin sliced mushrooms in the last few minutes of cooking for a LOT more flavor. A spinach (or whatever you like) salad and some crusty bread and wine and you have a meal worthy of the best restaurants. P.S. If you really want to blow the socks off someone, put a few tablespoons of wine over the onion mushroom mix. It ads depth of flavor. I actually prefer this with fattier, more flavorful steaks like ribeye.

Cooked another steak using this method and it turned out really good again!! Thanks again, Tasty 😁♥️

[HappyWife]

I’m not the greatest cook. I tried cooking a steak on the stove following these directions to a tee and the results were AMAZING! It was beyond delicious.Thank you so much for this video.

I splurged tonight & tried your method, It was AMAZING!! I usually treat myself to T Bone Once or Twice a year, Dr. Oz showcased beef & I ran with the Filet Mignon cause I need "tender"...Thanks So Much!!!😍
The education was PRICELESS!!!
