How To Perfectly Cook a Filet Mignon. Reverse Searing In The Oven OR Your Smoker. Recteq RT-700

Filet mignon is one of the most delicious cuts of steak that you can have. It’s by far the most tender and if cooked and seasoned properly it’s one of the most flavorful as well. It can be a little intimidating to make a filet if you have never done it before. Have no fear! I will show you exactly what you need to do to make the most perfectly cooked steak you’ve ever had!
Check out Partyfoodhero.com for the Compound Butter Recipe and all the different temperature levels for your preferred level of doneness.

I used the Reqtec RT-700 every time I need something perfectly smoked.
Ingredients:
4- 2 inch thick filet mignons
Salt
Pepper
2 Tablespoons of butter
1 Garlic Clove
Olive Oil
Instructions:
Preheat your oven or smoker to 250 degrees
Place your filets on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet
Liberally season each side of your filets with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Let your filets sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes
Place a thermometer into the thickest filet
Place your filets in your oven or your smoker
Once your filet’s internal temperature reaches the optimal temperature for your level of doneness, remove it from the smoker or oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Pat away any access moisture from your filet with a paper towel before adding them to the cast iron skillet.
Heat up your cast iron skillet on high
Add enough olive oil to thinly coat your cast iron skillet
Place your filets into the skillet and cook on the first side for 45 seconds.
Before flipping your filets add your butter and smashed garlic clove to the pan
Flip the filets
Add a 1/4 inch round of the compound butter to the top of the filet
Spoon over the melted butter from the skillet all over the steaks
Remove from the skillet and add one more 1/4 inch round to the top of your filet before serving
ENJOY!!!

Resting is not necessary. That is the beauty of reverse searing. Steaks can be served HOT!

@@partyfoodhero9712 Thanks man, that would be cool. I was thinking of doing a shoot video of my own.

what temp was the oven

[@unclewaggy09]

I would assume 225/250. That’s what I do.

[@leewilson6838]

That's the whole tenderloin cut right? A filet mignon wouldn't have all the fat and silver skin still on it. Need to remove the silver skin for sure.

I love steak. I love red meat in general. And I love my steak cooked straight medium. No more no less. Nice hot pink center. Not everyone likes pure raw meat. Quit gatekeeping.
