How To Cook A Filet Mignon Steak Perfectly | Rockin Robin Cooks

[@teaberdean1]

I successfully cooked my first filet mignon last night thanks to your tutorial here. Only cast iron pan I have is a huge 17" so I opted for my Cuisinart stainless steel pan. I followed your instructions but I only left it in the oven for 3 minutes. It was 140 when I checked it so it was medium-well to well after resting on the cutting board. I didn't mind the doneness because it tasted so good. Also, I only had Thyme so I used it. BTW, I will be subscribing to your channel and I ordered a 10.75" cast iron from Amazon last night. ;) Thank you again for this video.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Hi Tim, thanks for the comment! Sounds like you did a great job! Thanks for subscribing, I've got lots of recipes for you to try out. Thank you for purchasing your cast iron pan through my link. It is much appreciated! Again, welcome to my channel!

[@karensutton1457]

I've always been too intimidated to try filet mignon, but you made it look so easy & delicious too! Can't wait to try it!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Let me know how it turns out for you Karen!

[@dollyh.3976]

I just got done eating my filet...oh my goodness...it was so good! I've done the skillet/oven technique before but this was the best so far. THANK YOU!!!

[@durhamy]

Followed to a T and enjoyed the best tenderloin ever. Beats the BBQ by a country mile. Thank you Robin.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Glad to hear it Ron! Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate the feedback!

[@harleybonhamchannel]

Just wanted to let you know that we just did this; the steaks came out fantastic! I overcooked them just a bit in the oven but they were still super juicy because of the sear. Learning curve for me; I did 5min in the oven then another 2min because I thought they were too rare. The extra 2min was too much and we wound up with closer to medium well but damn it was still great! One unintended bonus: the leftover butter sauce in the pan went into the mashed potatoes...holy shit that was good!!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Nice Harley! The next time you make this, it will be perfect due to your experience. Glad you liked it! Thanks for getting back to me!

What temperature do you set the oven for?

[@roseannruvolo516]

Love it. When I was working on ab international oil rig. Twice a week they served steak cooked rare medium.

[@lallytunes]

If you were going for a medium/well how long do you think oven time would be? 10-15 mins?.....I know I know...Thats how I like it :)

[@GinGin2255]

Thanks for making this quick and easy to understand. You covered all the basics without a lot of useless info. This gave me the confidence to make the perfect filet.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

You are welcome Gigi. Thanks for the feedback! Glad your filet turned out perfect!

[@dgurba9386]

HI Robin, I followed your directions except I didn't have rosemary. And at the end I added blue cheese, it was amazing. Thank you, Looking forward to seeing more. I just subscribed to your site.

[@RobertGrant3]

Great directions explaining the “why” for the process that gives a delicious steak! Thanks D

[@wendytorres5711]

Thank you so much for posting this. I couldn't cook a steak to save my life. I kept burning them. Until I was given the challenge by my friend to cook a smaller piece of Filet mignon, which means I cut the time in half but followed the same instructions. The steak came out so perfect! It was so juicy and tender. Thank you Rockin' Robin! I have now found the skill to cook the perfect filet mignon.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Glad I could help you out with your filet mignon Wendy! Thanks for letting me know!

[@jesuscotto1331]

Thank you for all of your tips!! After watching your video...today was the first time the house wasn't all smokey...and the steaks weren't under cooked and so much more flavor... thank you!! Xoxo

[@RockinRobinCooks]

I’m glad the video helped you out! You are very welcome!

[@hobo1452]

I followed Robin's method but added a pinch of seasoning salt to the salt and pepper. I substituted the rosemary for quartered mini sweet white onions and added a generous splash of Worcestershire sauce with the butter. Used my oven's temp probe along with a grill temp probe and turned out two of the best medium done filets I have ever fixed or eaten. Thanks Robin!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Awesome! That really sounded good! Glad you had great results! Thanks for sharing!

[@tamih8413]

Yumm, just made this. This is fool proof. Easy peasy. I usually do it a little different every time. No more. This is my new go to.

Looks great we were given some filet mignon's from Omaha steaks for Christmas and have not cooked yet but your recipe looks really good and easy. The only thing is I do not like my steaks rare so I am not sure what to put my temp. stick on maybe 140 not sure if you have any idea let me know.

You really don't want to cook a filet mignon well done. It will not be tender.

[@ronhanisco8697]

Awesome. I never saw any other videos where they baste the steak in the butter sauce, Nice touch. I will try that now.

I have been cooking my steaks similar to your method except I have been using fresh Thyme. Now I'm ready to try it with Rosemary! Thanks for the vid

[@kenialalora6535]

Hi Robin, we’ve been making it 4 mins on each side on a cast iron with EVOO, then 5 minutes in the oven that is 425. I think we’ll try your method I find that we’d like it more rare. Not always sure if olive oil is the best. I’ll be looking out for your videos you seem like a great teacher, thank you!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Hi Kenia, I made NY steak for our New Years Eve dinner using this method with my smashed potatoes and it was awesome. I did not put the steaks in the oven as they were only an inch thick and cooked up rather quickly. 2 minutes each searing on both sides. Then added the butter, garlic and rosemary for another 3 to 4 minutes. It was perfect. Thank you for watching my videos. Happy New Year!!

[@aoruene]

No fresh rosemary today in supermarkets due to Covid 19 went to 4 stores here in Vegas, Yummy preparation

[@tommykaulback2000]

Perfect to my liking.

[@JoeKaye-hn5dt]

Seasoned mine with regular Morton salt. (you have a taste for FM or a pretzel?) I tossed out my PAINTED cast iron pan which began flaking paint. I'm not into martinis or a smoked up house, either, so I used (neutral) canola oil. Came out great - Yum! just like the ones at LG's.

[@rosemarysantos5216]

This looks sooo good! 😋 My husband and I like prefer medium well. What temp would you suggest for oven time?

[@retluoc]

All pros say medium rare, but I like mine medium. In my mind I can hear Gordon Ramsay say GET OUT!😀 But I say, whatever you like.

[@drewjenn9819]

Depends on thickness, for that one I wouldn't go much longer than 2 minutes.

[@Perly53]

Some chefs suggest a temp of 450. Then again, do you have an oven thermometer? As you know, many ovens are off from what they are set at. I've been using 430 degrees to split the difference. And the touch test - medium well when you push down on the steak with your finger should feel fairly firm and spring back, but still have some give. If it feels kinda soft, back into oven and check again in 1-2 minutes.

[@mikey8view]

Hi Ivan, how did your steak turn out?

[@francomercedes-benz3405]

Using it now

[@papasslll]

Excellent instruction, Robin! Love your style. My concern is always this-How to cook if you are doing 2 -one likes medium and one likes med rare. Just a simple matter of taking the first out T -125 and the other at 130, I guess:)

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the instruction. As for cooking two steaks to different levels of doneness, you're on the right track! Taking one out at 125°F for medium and the other at 130°F for medium rare is a great solution. Happy cooking!

Now that's my kind of meal. That steak looked perfect and so did the zucchini Robin. I do love the sear that a hot cast iron skillet gives to a steak. And the addition of the rosemary and garlic was perfect for a nice steak. If it were me, I think I would have to practice making this a few times before shooting video of it. That way I can eat lots of steak!! I hope you have a fabulous week my friend. God Bless!!!

I would cook the steak on the stove until it’s done. Just continue to baste with the butter and turn the steak over from time to time.

[@thejenniferdiamond]

Thank you for a wonderful step by step recipe. How do I properly clean the cast iron pan?

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Hi Jennifer, I just rinse and scrape out my pan (with a nylon scraper) under hot water. Then I wipe it out with a paper towel and place it on the stove. I pour just a little avocado oil in the pan and spread it around with a clean paper towel to lightly coat the pan. Then I let it "cook" the oil into the pan for like 15 - 20 min. This seems to help keep the finish intact. Let the pan cool then put away. Hope that helps. No matter how you clean it, make sure to put it on the stove to dry it so it won't rust.

[@lorettacali10370]

@@RockinRobinCooks that's great!! That's how I've been doing it because I can't just wipe it off with a paper towel and no water. I've had my pain 30+ years.

[@pascalmonier4642]

Great video and thanks, but by adding a glass of wine or water or the mix, to your pan, while its hot will make a great juice to go over your steak. Remember your pan is hot and when you put liquids, it sparkles. Another thing, those pans don't scratch, so use your fork to rub the bottom of your pan and mix all the flavours in your juice. One important thing, add your liquid in one shot, if you stop and start, your juice will be watered.

Very good instruction there, Robin. As you say, you wouldn't want to mess up a $24 cut of steak. I assume all steaks would be cooked in a similar way to this. I wouldn't know you see as I've never cooked one.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

+stunninglad1 Thank you stunninglad1. Yes you can use this technique to cook other kinds of steak. Because they can be thinner, you could possibly leave out the part of putting it in the oven depending on how rare you like it. The sauce (butter, rosemary, and garlic) is mandatory however!
