THE PERFECT FILET MIGNON ROAST

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

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
• Rinse meat well. Trim away some of the fat to remove the silvery cartilage underneath. With a very sharp knife, begin taking the fat off the top, revealing the silver cartilage underneath. You definitely don't want to take every last bit of fat off-not at all. As with any cut of meat, a little bit of fat adds to the flavor. (Hint: you can also ask the butcher to do this trimming for you if the process seems intimidating.)
• Sprinkle meat generously with Lawry's. You can much more liberally season a tenderloin, because you're having to pack more of a punch in order for the seasoning to make an impact. Start with Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Rub it in with your fingers. Sprinkle both sides generously with lemon & pepper seasoning. (There are no measurements because it depends on your taste, but be sure to season liberally.)
• Place the peppercorns in a Ziploc bag, and with a mallet or a hammer or a large, heavy can, begin smashing the peppercorns to break them up a bit. Set aside.
• Heat some olive oil in a heavy skillet. When the oil is to the smoking point, place the tenderloin in the very hot pan to sear it. Throw a couple of tablespoons of butter into the skillet to give it a nice little butter injection before going in the oven. A minute or two later, when one side is starting to turn nice and brown, flip and repeat.
• Place the tenderloin on an oven pan with a rack. Sprinkle the pummeled peppercorns all over the meat. Press the pepper onto the surface of the meat. Put several tablespoons of butter all over the meat. Stick the long needle of the thermometer lengthwise into the meat. Place it in a 475-degree oven until the temperature reaches just under 140 degrees, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stay near the oven and keep checking the meat thermometer to make sure it doesn't overcook.
• Let meat stand 10 minutes or so before slicing, so the meat will have a chance to relax a bit.
• To serve, you can spoon the olive oil/butter juices from the skillet onto the top of the meat for a little extra flavor.

PERFECT FILET MIGNON RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove your filet mignon from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. (This will ensure even cooking.)
• Mash together half of the butter (1 tablespoon, 14 g), rosemary, thyme, and garlic. (Sprinkle in a little sea salt if using unsalted butter.) Form into a log and refrigerate until the last step.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
• Trim any connective tissue around the edges of the beef tenderloins. Season the filets liberally with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
• Heat the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, until the skillet is very hot. Melt the remaining butter (1 tablespoon, 14 g) in the skillet.
• Add the filets. Sear for 2 minutes on each side, without moving them around.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake to desired level of doneness. (I recommend medium rare.) For a 2 in (5 cm)thick filet, that is 5 minutes for rare, 6 minutes for medium rare, 7 minutes for medium, or 8 minutes for medium well. Use a meat thermometer to check for the right temperature - 120 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare, 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, and 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) for medium well. The temperature will rise by another 5 degrees F while resting (see next step).
• Remove the filets from the oven and transfer to a plate. Top each with 1/2 tablespoon (7 g) of herb butter (slice the log of herb butter into four parts and put one on each steak). Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

FABULOUS BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place roast into a shallow, glass baking dish. Pour soy sauce and melted butter over the tenderloin.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn the roast over, and continue cooking 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally until the internal temperature of the roast is at 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium. Or, cook to your desired degree of doneness. Let meat rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Remove from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

FILET MIGNON - MILLION DOLLAR ROAST TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Portions 4.5 pounds served 6 people (7 pound roast from Lunardi's - $172. Costco's was $126 for 6 pounds). We only cooked half. Instructions The Day Before Cooking (*optional): 1. Season all over with salt and pepper and leave in fridge, uncovered overnight, or at least 10 hours. *not necessary, but helps to give the tenderloin a great crust. Day Of Cooking: 1. Let sit to come to room temperature for 2 hours. Tie up tenderloin and season with salt and pepper if you did not do this the day prior. Tying it makes it cook evenly. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 3. Sear the beef tenderloin on all sides, about 3 minutes per side, creating a nice golden-brown crust. Place olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat. 4. Meanwhile combine the softened butter, garlic, horseradish and steak seasoning in a small dish and mix. Slather the seared tenderloin with the butter mixture and then insert a probe thermometer. 5. Move the roast to a roasting rack with 4 cups of water in the pan. The secret to making a perfect roast is keeping water at the bottom of the pan while roasting in the oven. This helps keep the roast super moist while cooking. It's also the reason why it's so tender. 5. Roast until desired internal temperature is reached. *see notes for temperatures. Internal Temperature Guide: guide is about 30 minutes per pound, but ours was at medium early. RARE - 115°F - 120°F MEDIUM RARE - 120°F - 125°F MEDIUM - 130°F - 135°F 1:45 hours for 4.5 pounds 5. Remove tenderloin from oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing into 1" slices.
