Since I am now retired and have a few bucks set back I will treat myself to a filet mignon. Any suggestions for prep and cooking and what sides?

Press big chunks of sea salt and let sit for at least three hours. Heat your oven to 250. Put it in for 20-30 minutes. Put a cast iron pan on the stove at high heat for five minutes or more. Bring the steak out of the oven and seer on each side for one minute. Put a slab of butter on the top. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Then serve. Enjoy

Don't look at me. I have cooked steak twice in my life. I cooked them perfectly this last time. I'm pretty sure that was on accident.

Salad and baked potato are the perfect sides.

Industry creates this shit to take advantage of this government sponsored inflation.

Now a "plastic shortage" is blamed for the lack of spring water on store shelves. But no explanation for the plastic shortage is given. It's all bullshit, springboarded by the pandemic by democrats helping Big Business in return for Big Business helping them.

And be sure to put a temp probe in the steak.
A 20 to 30 minute window isnt going to cut it,it can go from perfect to welldone in that amount of time.
It needs to be pulled at 105 for rare. And then seared.

Perfect! The only thing I do differently is to cover the steak with a layer of fresh ground black pepper before it goes in the oven. If it is thick, like filet mignons usually are, 30 mins will give you a perfect medium rare. Then let the steak sit for 15 minutes after it comes out of the oven. Then sear it for a minute on each side in a HOT cast iron skillet.

The only way I can get Filet Mignon cooked through the way I like is with a butterfly cut that reduces the thickness. I know that horrifies filet mignon purists but I don't a bloody center.

There was once a restaurant in Seattle, Charlie's on Broadway. They had a dish called Three Steak Charlie. It was three small tenderloin medallions -- a similar cut from the same part of the animal as the filet -- each with its own sauce/topping combo. One was shrimp and Bearnaise sauce, one was crab and Hollandaise, and one was mushrooms and Bordelaise. It was my favorite dish of all time and I still enjoy making a tenderloin with one of those combos.

So a flight of steak...
Sounds damn good!

Their chefs were amazing, for a period of time. Sadly, they are no more.

I really enjoy the flavor of that cut of meat so I don't put anything on it other than a bit of pepper. I reserve sauces for lesser cuts of meat.

Yep. I swing between wanting something sauced or, with the really good cuts, just a little salt.

Speaking of flavor, while I love the tenderness of the filet, it is a bit expensive for regular meals. Most of the time when we have steak, it is a thick cut ribeye. I think the flavor of the ribeye is the best.

Ribeye can be VERY good. But if you have a great chef, they just seem to be able to elevate the filet to a height unobtainable by a ribeye.

No, just this. Filet mignon is meat-candy. Like the best high grade dark chocolate, only meat.

Beef prices are certainly getting out of hand. I have been going to rib eyes the last couple of years too. I have noticed recently that Costco has been carrying a lot of USDA Prime beef. I picked up a couple of prime rib eyes on our last trip--I hope they live up to the hype.

Filet Mignon.... a steak for women.
Filet Mignon... it sounds sorta "Frenchy", so it must be the best.
Filet Mignon... when you can't afford the the rest of the steak.

You need to try a cap steak if you like the Ribeye.
It's made from the outer edge of the ribeye and rolled in to a steak.
