The Perfect 10-Minute Cast Iron Seared Filet

1 (6-ounce) Certified Angus Beef Filet
½ tablespoon butter
canola oil

1. Generously rub the filet with the Original Seasoning or salt/pepper combo. Be sure to get the top and bottom and the edges.
2. Put in a plastic bag and place in the icebox for about 2 hours.
3. Remove the filet from the icebox and let warm about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, turn the oven on to 450 degrees F.
4. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat for 2 minutes.
5. Pour just enough oil in the skillet to lightly coat the bottom.
6. Place the filet in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
7. Flip the filet on it’s edge and cook each edge for 1 minute. The filet should have about 4 edges, for a total of 4 minutes cooking around the filet.
8. Place the first side that you seared down on the skillet. Top with the butter and place in the preheated oven for 2 minutes.
9. Remove the skillet from the oven and place the filet on a cutting board. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
Tip: Cooking the filet in the oven for 2 minutes will result in a rare filet. For medium rare, allow to cook an additional 1 ½ to 2 minutes.

I cooked 2 mins per side. I reduced the time to 25-30 seconds on the edges, and increased time in oven by 2 minutes (total 4 mins). It help reduce the smoke in the kitchen/house, and the steak, still came out perfect... maybe the best steak I have ever cooked in my life. Thank you!

The steps between the steps. I didn't know about heating the cast iron pan FIRST then placing the oil in the pan. Little things like that do make a big difference.

I followed this recipe to a ‘T’ . I cooked two fillets at the same time in one cast iron skillet. I used salt, coarse ground pepper, and Kent Rollins Mesquite seasoning. The fillets came out perfect !! You couldn’t find them any better in a restaurant !! Thank You
Kent !! We had a great dinner !!

This man knows what he's doin'. And the refined four-legged food critic sealed it even more. I'm making this tonight.

I've cooked quite a few filets and ribeyes on 1/4" mild steel plate on bbq. Like you said.... get the metal VERY HOT!!! The iron sears the meat really well and I cook onions along side. Thanks for GREAT

[gtsteele]

Have tried this recipe three times: twice with stove/oven and now once with side burner/grill and it has produced amazing steak each time. When using the grill I threw in some fresh oregano and tarragon at the end and just allowed it to crisp in the butter and steak fat. Perfect. Also keeps the grill clean and helps further season the cast iron pan. It's a winner, Kent!

Being a native West Texas guy I love to see this kinda cookin'. You ever gonna tackle a brisket? I was hoping that you might have a spare 14 hours in your day hahaha! I keep on a watchin' for it!!! God Bless

[Irwhodunit]

Perfect! Keep it simple. This is so much easier than building a fire on the grill, especially for a single Filet. I most appreciate the instruction about TIME at each step. As you said, "over cook a filet and you're wasting your money." Thanks from a subscriber.

I received your cookbook yesterday, and it is incredible!!!! Your photography is beautiful, Shannon! I made this filet tonight, and it was so delicious. Thank you, thank you, and God bless you both. 🙏

Just did this recipe for my wife and kids tonight and it turned out, Perfect. Bought a whole beef tenderloin from a farm close by and oh my, tender as could be and with the times given, a perfect medium rare! Thx Ken! Your the man!

I have always grilled filets. Never knew about cast iron filet method. Great video. Looked amazing. Must try this method!

Just did this with a New York Strip, worked great:
450°, 2 min on both sides, then another 2min on the first side inside the oven....5min rest - then down the hatch.

Been on a 'Cast Iron Kick' since watching one of your videos last week and going down a rabbit hole. I dusted off a Cast Iron skillet I purchased when I first bought my house 12yrs ago(I cooked with it once and gave up).
Started with the cleaning and care videos to get it back in shape and seasoned - and have been trying things from your channel just about every day since.

Thanks!

Hey Kent. I just found your website. I have to admit, I was intimidated by cast iron until seeing your videos. I'm newly on my own, and so I cook for myself, well...and for my dog too, lol. He eats a bit of steak too. But, your videos are awesome! Thanks for excellent informational videos.

[Nurturing]

GOD BLESS U❣️I finally got it right!!! I have followed numerous directions and failed each time. I’m on a diet so I haven’t had a decent meal in a while. There are no words to adequately express my gratitude!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! ♥️❤️♥️

Hey Kent, just found your page and I can't stop watching- this New York boy spent a few months in your fine state of Oklahoma, up there in Lawton, learning how to put steel on target when I was in the Marines- you're helping me step up my game in the field when we're out on the beach fishing. Keep doing what you do brother.
