Grilling
Grilling is a classic method for cooking Filet Mignon. The direct heat of the grill creates a sear on the outside of the filet and the inside will remain juicy and tender. Grilling will infuse your Filet Mignon with a smoky flavor that enhances its natural taste.
Grilling Instructions
- Bring filets to room temperature for about 30 minutes
- Preheat your grill to a surface temperature of 450 degrees
- Season both sides of your filet with salt and pepper
- Grill your filets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until you reach your desired temperature.
- Let filets rest for about 10-15 minutes.
- Spread your Legal Sea Foods Garlic Butter on top and enjoy!
Cast Iron Skillet
Cast iron pans are known for distributing heat evenly, making them a great choice for cooking filets. A cast iron pan will allow for an exceptional sear on the Filet Mignon and the even heat distribution will ensure the filets are cooked evenly through.
Cooking Instructions
- Bring filet to room temperature for about 30 minutes
- Season both sides of your filet with salt and pepper
- Preheat your skillet to medium-high heat
- Add oil to your cast iron skillet and sear your filet for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Let the filets rest for about 10-15 minutes.
- Spread your Legal Sea Foods Garlic Butter on top and enjoy!
