Ingredients
- 16 – 8 oz filet mignonlet it rest for about 30 minutes before cooking
- 1TEA Kosher Salt & PepperSalt & pepper to taste
- 1TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 435 degrees Fahrenhei
- Add a tablespoon of oil to the cast iron
- Turn up my burner to high and let the skillet get nice and hot
- Once the skillet is hot, drop the steaks in the pan Cook it on one side for 3 minutes and then I flip and let it cook on the other side for 1 minute.
- Once the steak has seared as I mentioned, go ahead and place it right in the oven on the middle rack.
- There’s no need to flip it – You should be able to achieve a medium rare internal temperature (apx 140 degrees F) in about 6 – 8 minutes. The actual time can depend on a lot of factors….if you didn’t let your steak rest before cooking, it will take a bit longer as the center is cool.
- Remove steak from oven and skillet and let it rest another 5 minutes. The resting will help the steak retain its juice as you cut and eat.
