The Prime FAQ Cuts
Q: "Do I really need to let the steak rest after cooking?"
A: Yes! Resting allows for the juices to redistribute throughout the meat rather than spilling onto the plate. This produces a juicy, flavorful steak rather than a dry one.
Q: "Why is my filet mignon tough?"
A: The filet was either overcooked or not rested properly. The meat shouldn’t ever be tough, but if it is, the internal temperature likely exceeded 155°F.
Q: "My steak is gray inside instead of pink. What went wrong?"
A: The gray color means the heat was too low while searing or the filet spent too long in the oven, so the meat is overcooked.
Q: "Can I cook straight from the refrigerator?"
You can, but to allow for an even cook, room temperature is the best option. Cold steaks are able to develop a good crust on the outside but may remain undercooked on the inside. The outside may also overcook while waiting for the internal temperature to warm.
Ingredients
-
2 Sizzlefish Filet Mignons, thawed
-
1 tsp. Salt
-
1 tsp. Black Pepper
-
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
-
3 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
-
1-2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
-
1-2 sprigs Fresh Tarragon
-
2-3 Garlic Cloves, chopped
Directions
Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400F.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
Add the olive oil to a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Heat up for 1-2 minutes, until very hot but not smoky. Add the steaks to cook undisturbed 2-4 minutes, depending on desired doneness, then flip to sear untouched for 2 more minutes.
Once flipped, add the butter, garlic, and fresh herbs. Baste the steaks in the melted butter for the last minute of cooking time. Transfer to the oven to bake for 5-6 minutes for medium rare, 6-7 minutes for medium, and 8-9 minutes for medium well.
Let the steak rest for 6-8 minutes before slicing to serve.
Enjoy!
