Filet Mignon Recipe

Filet mignon is always a treat. This delicious cut of beef is so tender, you can often cut filet with a fork. Syndicated columnist Rita Heikenfeld shows you how to cook a pan roasted filet mignon with her filet recipe.

Start the filet mignon in a skillet to sear in the flavor and then move it to the oven for about 5 minutes. This is one of our favorite ways to cook a filet that comes out perfectly every time.

Pair this filet mignon with an appetizer of shrimp cocktail and you've got a wonderful romantic meal.

Rita, I can't remember the last time I cooked anything "stove top", or used anything other than an iron skillet.

My iron has raised ridges on the bottom that gives the meat a grilled look when cooked. I preheat the skillet in the oven to 350 before I put the pre-seasoned meat on it to cook. In the oven it might take a Filet Mignon about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. It does depend on how thick the meat is.

Why neutralize the natural taste of the steak by cooking it in Olive oil?

@Dem0D1ck That sounds like a delicious way to cook a filet!

I made it and it worked great!! And I'm NO cook!! If yours were gardening vids I 'd say I had a hopelessly brown thumb. Not sure what the culinary equivalent would be....but that's me! Thanks again.

@PUAlum Glad to hear the Filet Mignon was a hit! Keep cooking.

Nice video. never looked on youtube for cooking vids.  That amount of olive oil seemed more than "filming". Can you give an actual amount? Thanks.

[RecipeCook]

Glad you liked the video @PUAlum. I did use too much oil in this video, but couldn't afford another filet! Just a tablespoon or so should take care of it.

@kirby4blues It's really all about the handle in this case. Even on stainless, many pans have a coating on the handle that keeps them from being oven proof. It's a good habit to check any pan before putting it in the oven. ~Rita from AboutEating.

@djmokes Science proves that poking with a fork doesn't impact the juice in the steak. Applying heat and the fibers tightening squeeze out the juice. A fork isn't sharp enough to impact those fibers. I certainly used too much oil here...but the fork has no impact but is a great tool to turn a steak. ~Rita

To bad your sticking the meat and letting all the juice out... Ughh Thats a no no. Do it by touch!

@greatbydesign33 LOL, Guess I touched a nerve, or five, huh fag boy? Keep dreaming that cocktail sausage you call a dick is actually something women really want.

As I said before, real men don't need to brag. So how's Phistina, serving you well, she's obviously handy.

Have fun with her cause she's the only one you can depend on.

@Dem0D1ck Your not a "real man" Sally. You are a Dumb Fuck RETARD and that is ALL you will EVER be in this Lifetime. Your Mother should be arrested for Shitting Out pure Shit Filth STINK like You. And the only "Pile of Shit" around is your parents for having you.

[Dem0D1ck]

@greatbydesign33 LOL ignorant freak, don't know anything about olive oil, don't know anything about cooking, and you fantasize about your phallic superiority. OK, enjoy your date with Phistina tonight.

Let's see, your first response to me started with "Hey dumb fuck". What do you expect me to do; blow you kisses? Suck my Dick Tracy.

You're a pile of crap who's only value is that he makes a garbage dump smell good by comparison.

BTW, real men don't have a need to brag.
