Steakhouse Filet Mignon Recipes

FILET MIGNON WITH RICH BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over both sides of each steak, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place steaks in hot pan, and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add balsamic vinegar and red wine. Cover, and cook for 4 minutes on each side, basting with sauce when you turn the meat over.
• Remove steaks to two warmed plates, spoon one tablespoon of glaze over each, and serve immediately.

STEAKHOUSE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and brush them lightly with vegetable oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the steaks in the mixture, pressing lightly to evenly coat all sides.
• When the skillet is ready, add the steaks and sear them evenly on all sides for about 2 minutes per side, for a total of 10 minutes.
• Top each steak with a tablespoon of butter, if using, and place the skillet in the oven. Cook the steaks until they reach 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium-rare on an instant-read thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.)
• Remove the steaks to a serving platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Serve hot with Roquefort Chive Sauce on the side.
• Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook at a low boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has become thick and creamy, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the cheese, salt, pepper and chives and whisk rapidly until the cheese melts.
• Yield: 4 servings

RESTAURANT STYLE FILET MIGNON RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Take 1/2 stick of butter, softened, and mix well with the peeled, chopped garlic, the chopped herbs, and the lemon zest. Form into a log and refrigerate. Generously season the filet's with salt and pepper, approximately 1 teaspoon of seasoning per side. Heat the remainder of the butter (1/2 stick) and the olive oil in a cast iron skillet to a screaming hot temperature. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Sear the filets in a screaming hot pan for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until a nice brown crust has formed. While the steak is searing, continue to spoon the residual butter in the pan on top of the meat while it's cooking. Once both sides are seared, place in the center of the oven for about 6-8 minutes, depending upon how thick your steak is. In the last minute of cooking, take the log of compound butter and slice a nice thick piece to place on top. Your steak will be ready when it is approximately 135 degrees in the center, or when you push lightly on the top center of the steak and it gently and slowly bounces back. (Note, this is medium rare kids. Some people don't like to eat cows while they are mooing, so clearly you can cook longer if your afraid of the pink.)

RESTAURANT STYLE FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Mix together 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) softened butter with the minced garlic, the chopped herbs and the lemon zest. Form into a log and refrigerate.
• Generously season the filets with salt and pepper, approximately 1 teaspoon of seasoning per side.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat the remainder 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick) and the olive oil in a cast iron skillet to a screaming hot temperature (not burn you house down hot, though). Sear the filets in the hot pan for about 2-3 minutes per side or until a nice brown crust has formed. Once they're down, don't move them around.
• While the steak is searing, continue to spoon the residual butter in the pan on top of the meat while it's cooking. Once both sides are seared, carefully place the entire skillet with steak in the center of the preheated oven for about 6-8 minutes, depending upon how thick your steak is.
• In the last minute of cooking, take the log of compound butter and slice a thick piece to place on top; set aside.
• Your steak will be ready when it is approximately 135 degrees in the center, or when you push lightly on the top center of the steak and it gently and slowly bounces back. Watch carefully especially if your steaks are thinner. Top with reserved compound butter.

MARINATED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
• When the marinade is ready, place the steaks in the same bowl, or even a Ziplock bag, with the filet mignon marinade and allow them to soak - or marinate - for two hours.
• It is recommended longer for steaks of less tenderness, but for a filet mignon, less is more.
• Make sure to leave the marinade out on the kitchen counter at room temperature.
• The steak needs to be neither hot nor cold when it is ready to be grilled. This is the longest part of the process, but fortunately, it also is the easiest.
• When the steak is done marinating, it is time to heat up the grill. For the best result, the grill needs to be around 450 degrees but not more than 500 degrees. On most grills, this is around 75 percent.
• Not only do you need to know your grill temperature, you also need to know steak temperatures. This is vital in cooking the perfect grilled filet mignon.
• Your steak is cooked extra-rare when it is very red and cold with a temperature of 115 to 120 degrees; rare when it has a cold red center and is soft, 125-130 degrees; medium rare when it has a warm red center and is firmer, 130-140 degrees; medium when the steak is pink and firm, 140-150 degrees; medium well when there is a small amount of pink in the center, 150-155 degrees and well-done when the steak is gray-brown throughout and firm, 160-212 degrees.
• Now that your grill has reached the correct temperature and you know what temperature your steaks need to reach in order to be cooked the way you and your guests like, it is time to throw the steaks on the grill and close the lid.
• Grill for six minutes, rotating halfway through. Continue flipping and grilling until your steak reaches its desired temperature.
• Make sure to never, ever puncture the steak with the tongs while rotating, it can ruin the steaks texture and tenderness. Just be very careful when turning.
• For example, an additional six minutes would reach 145 to 150 degrees internal temperatures.
• Remove the steaks from the grill and make sure to lightly foil the steaks for an additional five minutes while the juices finish settling in the meat.

STEAKHOUSE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat dry the filets mignons with paper towels. Brush the filets lightly all over with the oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the filets on all sides in the mixture, pressing lightly to help the salt and pepper adhere. The steaks should be evenly coated with the salt and pepper.
• When the pan is extremely hot, add the steaks and sear evenly on all sides (top, bottom, and sides) for about 2 minutes per side. (Be sure the cooking area is well ventilated.) You'll probably need about 3 turns to sear the sides and about 10 minutes total.
• Remove the pan from the heat and arrange all the filets flat in the pan. Top each with a tablespoon of butter, then place the pan in the oven. Cook the filets for 8 to 12 minutes to 120 degrees for rare and 125 degrees for medium-rare. Remove the steaks to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
