How to Cook the Perfect Filet Mignon

Today, I’ll show you How to Cook the Perfect Filet Mignon. Filet Mignon is my favorite cut of steak, and I’m really picky when it comes to the way it’s cooked. I like my steak rare to medium rare, tender and juicy. My kids are the same, if you serve them a well cooked, dry piece of steak, they won’t eat it, and neither will I.

It’s not complicated to cook a tender and juicy filet mignon, and it requires just a few ingredients.

Pan seared

Ingredients

2 to 4 slices of filet mignon (1″ thick)
3 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Fleur de sel or sea salt
Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Season the steaks with salt and pepper
In a large frying pan, heat the butter and the oil over high heat.
When the butter is melted, and starts to bubble, add the filets mignons.

Cook for 3 minutes per side for medium rare (keep the heat at high).
Transfer to a plate and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes covered with aluminum foil.

Serve immediately.
