Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and allow it to reach room temperature (about 30 minutes). Preheat your grill or skillet over high heat.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Pat the filet dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Filet Mignon

    Sear the filet mignon for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

  2. 4

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the filet from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

Plating

  1. 5

    Serve

    Slice the filet mignon and plate it. Drizzle with sauce bordelaise, sprinkle with extra virgin olive oil powder, and garnish with micro herbs before serving.
