Filet Mignon | Filet Of Beef | Seared Filets At Home

When I was catering, seared Filets were 1 of my favorite entrees to serve. Why? Because almost everyone loves a expert steak (well everyone except vegetarians... sorry!) together with they are therefore slowly to prepare. My clients together with their guests would endure therefore amazed that I was able to attain all of them perfectly - at the same time, inwards the kitchen!

For closed to reason, most people (men especially...) retrieve you lot convey to attain steaks exterior on the grill. Nope. I truly prefer a steak crusted inwards body of body of water tabular array salt together with cracked pepper, seared inwards a pan together with finished inwards the oven*. The searing of the steaks alongside the tabular array salt together with pepper creates a dark-brown crust that seals inwards all of the juices that a grill simply can't match.

After learning how to develop seared steaks at home, I rarely guild a steak at eatery (or laid upwards them exterior on the grill...) because I'm e'er disappointed! I walk you lot thru the directions below, but for the Printable Recipe (New!), click here.

I purchase the thickest filets I tin honor - six to 8 oz. is a expert size.

Coat all sides of the steaks alongside body of body of water tabular array salt together with fresh cracked pepper - you lot can't lay on also much! It is of import to endure generous alongside the seasoning because it is what creates the exterior crust.

Heat the skillet on high until really hot before adding the steaks - nearly 2-3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, therefore add together steaks immediately.

Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until the steak easily pulls off the pan - this way that they are properly seared.

After doing the transcend together with the bottom, sear the sides for 2-3 minutes.

The steaks volition endure perfectly medium rare. If you lot prefer a to a greater extent than good done steak, lay them inwards a 500 bird oven for 3-5 minutes until they are done how you'd similar them.
