  • How to cook a filet mignon (FOOL PROOF)
    Filet mignons have a bad reputation. They are the most expensive cut on the cow despite being lean. Due to the lack of fat, they are less flavorful than something like a ribeye or NY strip.
    Despite this, I think they serve an important purpose. When introducing someone new to the world of steaks, filet is a great place to start! They are extremely tender, and while not always the most flavorful, they are always a crowd pleaser. This is my favorite way to cook one indoors!

    Thank you guys for watching! I know some people stand by reverse sear as the best method, but I like this way for 2 reasons:
    1. With reverse sear, you need to be aware of the internal temp not rising too much since it’s already cooked, and I find that getting a thick crust can be a challenge
    2. This method is lower stress. You aren’t filling the room with smoke directly before eating, and you have 10-15 min to get the rest of the dinner ready while it’s in the oven
    Reverse sear might get you a slightly more “perfect” steak, but all in all, this is my favorite way. Re. the grey band, sear for less time and it will be smaller!

    I bought a cast iron frying pan and followed your instructions closely, especially the part where you salt the steak the day before, which I had never done before, then the basting and the oven part. I even used a thermometer inside the steak. I love steaks and tried many times to cook them at home with varying results, but this time it was WOW. And that crust! Thank you!

    This is typically the way I cook filets indoors. I think another main benefit to this method is the thermometer is truly in charge to insure proper doneness. It’s quite easy to go “over” during the sear portion of the reverse searing process, in my experience.

    Agreed, this is definitely a less stressful way to cook a steak, as well as a more consistent way.. Reverse sear will have slightly smaller grey bands, and more edge to edge pink, but it's certainly a lot more work/stress to obtain, and very easy to overcook it that way.
