Filet Mignon in the Oven

Some us live in cold weather (like Michigan) and don't want to dig out our BBQ grills but still want a juicy steak. So here is a way to cook a Filet Mignon in the Oven.

Note: Prepare your sides for your steaks will be cooked in about 16minutes

Step 1
Add any seasonings that you like and gently rub them into the meat. This will help to keep the flavor in. If you prefer to use a marinade and soak your steak overnight that is also great.

Step 2
You will need to have a large skillet and one tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pour the oil in the large skillet (preferably one that can be place in the oven as well such as an iron skillet).
Heat the oil on medium until you notice small wisps of smoke appear, then place your mignon steaks in the skillet.

Step 3
Sear each steak for 3 minutes on each side. This helps to hold in the natural juices of the filet steaks and also aids in keeping your steaks tender.

Step 4
Place the pan in the oven and bake in a pre-heated oven on 375 degrees Fahrenheit. For a rare steak you will want to bake for 4 to 6 minutes, for medium 6 to 8 minutes, and for well done you will want to bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
