Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°. Start with 1 1/2 thick filets, about 8 oz each, and trimmed well. Remove any silver skin. If you have time, rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
- Pat dry well with paper towels. Season all sides to taste. Just kosher salt and pepper will be fine. I use my homemade All-Purpose Seasoning -7:2:2. Season just before cooking or 1 hour before cooking to prevent the salt from pulling fluid out of the meat.
- In an oven-safe pan (I love my 10-inch cast iron), melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat or use oil. When hot, sear both sides of the filets for 2-3 minutes-sear, flip, sear, and final flip before going to the oven.
- Transfer to the preheated oven. Cook to your desired done temperature minus about 3-5 degrees. For me, medium-rare is always about 8-10 minutes to get an internal temp of about 135°- 140°. If you want rare, check the internal temperature when the meat goes into the oven.
- I suggest checking the internal temperature after 4-5 minutes in the oven to see where you are on the internal temperature. Time can vary due to the exact temperature of the meat to start, the exact temperature of the oven, the pan used, and the thickness of the meat. Rare may take only a few minutes in the oven so beware if you want rare. DO NOT COOK BY TIME ALONE. YOU MUST CHECK THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE. Times are provided to help planning only.
- Remove from pan and tent lightly with foil on a plate and let rest for 3-5 minutes before cutting. It needs to absorb fluids internally, and the temperature will rise a few more degrees during the rest.

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.
SEARED FILET MIGNON
Steps:
- Season the Filet Mignons with salt and pepper. Combine the butter and oil in a large saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot and foam has subsided, add the beef. Sear for three minutes per side for rare. Transfer to a warm platter.
PAN-SEARED FILET MIGNON WITH ROASTED POTATOES AND MERLOT SAUCE
Steps:
- Make garnish:
- In a medium saucepan of salted boiling water blanch onions 3 minutes, or until barely tender, and drain in a colander. Peel skin away from each onion, keeping it attached at root end, and pat onion dry. In a heavy saucepan heat 2 cups oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F. and fry onions in 2 batches until crisp and brown, about 1 minute. Transfer onions as fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels and drain. Season onions with salt and pepper and cool. Onions may be made 8 hours ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. and oil 2 baking sheets.
- Cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange in one layer on baking sheets. Lightly brush slices with some oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast potatoes in middle and lower thirds of oven until golden brown and tender, about 35 minutes, and keep warm.
- Pat filets mignons dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown filets on both sides, without crowding, about 5 minutes total. Transfer filets to a shallow baking pan and roast in middle of oven about 10 minutes for medium-rare.
- On each of 6 plates fan 3 potato slices and top with a filet. Drizzle filets with some sauce and garnish with onions. Serve remaining sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Make the Potato-Walnut Confit: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Place potatoes, extra-virgin olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; toss to combine. Spread in an even layer on prepared baking sheet and transfer to oven. Roast until potatoes are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring, until it just begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add walnuts and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon mixture to bowl with potatoes; cover tightly with plastic wrap to keep warm. Reserve skillet for port wine reduction.
- Make the Port Wine Reduction: Add shallots and garlic to reserved skillet and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add port to deglaze and stir, scraping up browned bits in skillets; cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add beef stock and cook, stirring, until reduced by half, 8 to 9 minutes. Add butter to skillet, 1 piece at a time, whisking until fully melted and combined after each addition. Remove skillet from heat as necessary to prevent sauce from breaking; sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove sauce from heat and cover to keep warm.
- Make the Filet Mignons: Season filets on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt butter with olive oil over high heat. Add filets and cook, turning once, 3 minutes per side. Place 2 tablespoons cheese on top of each filet and transfer skillet to oven. For medium-rare, roast until an instant-read thermometer reaches 140 degrees when inserted into filets, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
- To serve, divide the potato mixture evenly between four plates; top with filets. Spoon sauce over filets and garnish with remaining 1/2 cup cheese, fried shallot rings, and parsley. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Look for grass-fed beef for the filet mignon and organic vegetables for the roasted potatoes.
- When searing the filet mignon, be sure to get a good sear on all sides. This will help to lock in the juices and create a flavorful crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the filet mignon. If the pan is too crowded, the meat will not sear properly.
- Let the filet mignon rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
- The roasted potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. This will save you time on busy weeknights.
- The merlot sauce is a great way to add flavor to the filet mignon and roasted potatoes. Be sure to simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This pan-seared filet mignon with roasted potatoes and merlot sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tender filet mignon is cooked to perfection and the roasted potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The merlot sauce is the perfect finishing touch, adding a rich and flavorful depth to the dish. This recipe is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
