Instructions:
-
Begin by ensuring the filet is at room temperature for even roasting and enhanced tenderness.
-
If you have a whole fillet, tuck the taped part (the tail) under to ensure an even roast. Alternatively, cut the fillet in half if needed for your roasting pan.
-
Preheat the oven to a sizzling 475 degrees F.
-
Rub the filet with olive oil and season it generously with your preferred blend of salt, pepper, paprika, and crushed garlic. Montreal Steak Seasoning or a coating of Dijon mustard with crushed peppercorns both work wonders.
-
Place the prepared filet on a roasting rack over the pan. You can also elevate it on beef bones for an added flavor boost.
-
Roast the filet for 20 minutes at 475 degrees F, then reduce the temperature to 350F and roast for an additional 20 minutes.
-
Allow the filet to rest for 15 minutes before slicing, achieving a perfect medium-rare doneness. Adjust roasting times for larger or smaller roasts.
-
For precision, use a meat thermometer, aiming for 120 to 130 F for rare and 130 to 140 F for medium-rare. Remember, the meat continues to cook during the standing time out of the oven.
-
While the filet is roasting, prepare the exquisite mushroom sauce. Sauté onions in olive oil or butter until softened, then add sliced mushrooms and garlic. Continue cooking until mushrooms reduce in volume by half and become tender.
-
Introduce sweet vermouth, dashes of Worcestershire sauce, and Gravy Master, cooking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Season the sauce to taste, adding pan drippings or beef bullion paste for a richer flavor if desired.
-
Serve the Filet Mignon slices with generous spoonfuls of the mushroom sauce, creating a symphony of flavors that will leave your guests craving more.
-
Enjoy the leftovers, as they reheat exceptionally well, ensuring that the joy of this culinary masterpiece lingers beyond the initial feast.
Indulge in the art of cooking with this Filet Mignon recipe, a testament to love, flavor, and the joy of savoring a perfect dish. Cheers to unforgettable culinary experiences!
