Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176C). Remove the roast from its package and allow it to rest on your counter at least 30 minutes before roasting.
- In a large roasting pan with a roasting rack that fits most roasting pans, lay the slices of the prosciutto on the bottom of the rack horizontally, overlapping slices. Place the Filet Mignon roast on top of the prosciutto. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and garlic powder generously.
- Scatter sliced onions on top.
- Pour about 4 cups of water into the bottom of the roasting pan, (under the roasting rack) just below the meat but not touching. Drizzle olive oil over the meat.
- Cook for 15 to 20 minutes per pound, about 2 hours. Rotate the roast every half hour. Ovens will vary, so it's best to use a meat thermometer, to help you to roast to your liking, rare, medium-rare, or medium.
- Remove from the rack, and place onto the cutting board, allow the roast to sit for 5 to 7 minutes before carving.
- Carve into 1-inch slices. Remove the string, and transfer slices onto a serving platter. Serve immediately. Discard the onions and prosciutto.
- Serves 8 to 10

THE PERFECT FILET MIGNON
A luxe cut of meat like filet mignon needs little embellishment to shine. It's all about technique-and plenty of butter! Searing the steaks creates a beautiful crust and basting them with melted butter infused with garlic and thyme helps keep them tender. A quick pan sauce that comes together while the meat rests is the perfect finishing touch.

Steps:
- Pat the steaks dry, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Firmly press the seasoning into the meat.
- Heat the oil in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the steaks and cook until a golden crust forms, about 2 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes (see Cook's Note). Flip again and cook for 2 minutes. Flip once more and add 4 tablespoons of the butter and the thyme and garlic. Let cook, undisturbed, until the butter stops foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Tilt the pan slightly so the butter pools and spoon it over the steaks. Continue to cook the steaks, basting constantly, until they are medium rare and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 118 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate to rest. Discard the garlic, thyme and fat from the skillet, but do not wipe out the browned bits.
- Place the same skillet over medium heat and add the shallots and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the brandy. Return the skillet to the heat and continue to cook over medium until the skillet is dry, being careful as it may ignite, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the liquid reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Add the beef stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, slice the steak, spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chives.

FILET MIGNON WITH MUSHROOM-CABERNET GRAVY
I love pan-searing because it gives the filet mignon steaks that beautiful color and crust on the outside and leaves them so tender inside! And because of the influence of my husband's French grandmother, I love to cook anything with wine! The Cabernet and mushrooms, along with fresh thyme, make this absolutely delicious! Try this: you'll love it!

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper, gently place them into the hot skillet, and sear until well-browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a platter, tent with aluminum foil, and keep warm.
- Turn the heat down to medium, and melt the butter. Cook and stir the shallot and mushrooms in the butter until the mushrooms begin to give off their liquid and the shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, beef broth, and thyme, and simmer the sauce until it begins to reduce, 6 to 10 minutes. Return the steaks to the sauce, and simmer briefly until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes per side (for medium-rare.) An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to serving dishes.
- In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and water until it forms a smooth paste. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the pan sauce, and cook and stir until thickened, about 30 seconds. Top each serving with mushroom-wine sauce to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- Let steaks warm to room temperature and rub with water on each side. Apply kosher salt, garlic salt, meat tenderizer, and fresh ground pepper liberally. Sprinkle paprika and parsley on each side for color/garnish.
- Warm olive oil in a grill pan, frying pan, or skillet over medium high heat and add filets while pan is warming. As steaks begin to sizzle, adjust temperature to high heat, gently lift the steaks to prevent sticking and apply pressure to ensure steaks are browning. Repeat process and adjust heat as necessary until steaks are brown (roughly 2 to 3 minutes on each side).
- Upon browning both sides, place steak in an oven safe pan or skillet and roast using the following temperature guidelines (which vary depending upon the thickness of the meat) - rotate halfway through cooking:.
- Rare - 4 to 6 minutes (130 to 140 degrees internal temperature).
- Medium Rare - 6 to 8 minutes (140 to 150 degrees internal temperature).
- Medium - 8 to 10 minutes (150 to 160 degrees internal temperature).
- Use a foil tent as necessary to keep steaks warm until serving. Remember they will continue to cook as they are removed from the heat. I prefer to serve with mashed potatoes and stir fried green beans or sauteed mushrooms.
- The following guidelines help to determine steak temperature without cutting into the steak and ruining the presentation according to Big Oven: very rare feels soft and squishy, rare is soft to the touch, medium-rare yields gently to the touch, while medium yields only slightly to the touch and is beginning to firm up, and medium-well is firm to the touch.
- Safety note per Big Oven: "Doneness" is an issue of personal preference. However, it is recommended that beef be cooked to medium-rare doneness, the internal temperature should reach 145 degrees F to ensure that harmful bacteria have been destroyed. A thick cut of beef that has been cooked to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F, may be removed from the oven, loosely covered, and allowed to rest a few minutes. The temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees F, reaching proper doneness.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality filet mignon roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
- Season the roast generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Sear the roast in a hot skillet before roasting. This will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
- Roast the beef at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to keep the beef tender and juicy.
- Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Filet mignon roast is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can cook a filet mignon roast that is tender, juicy, and flavorful. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, asparagus, or creamed spinach.
