Filet Mignon
At the meat market, we purchase a whole beef tenderloin. Once home, we cut it into about a 3 lb roast to serve to SKDL, a few pints of beef tips, and the rest is cut into filet mignon pairs. Generally, this is served with mushrooms and a bottle of red wine, and often preceded by foie gras.
Ingredients:
8 oz Filet mignon or steak, per person
2 T EVOO
Lemon Pepper
Garlic powder
Procedures:
Season the beef with Lemon Pepper, & Garlic powder. Sear the beef in EVOO in an oven-proof pan. (~2 minutes per side)
Roast the beef in 350o oven to an internal temperature of 145o (~10 minutes)
