Tenderloin Steaks fork-cut tender, these will dazzle your guests!  Filet Mignon is a prized tender and lean cut of beef from the small end of the beef tenderloin, known for its delicate texture and mild flavor.

1. Preparation:

   • Take the filet mignon out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

   • Season generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices (garlic, rosemary, thyme, etc.).

2. Searing:

   • Heat a cast-iron skillet or another heavy pan over high heat. Add a small amount of oil with a high smoke point (like avocado oil).

   • Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side, until a nice crust forms.

3. Cooking:

   • After searing, reduce the heat to medium-low. For grass-fed filet, it's best to aim for an internal temperature of around 125°F for medium-rare (as grass-fed meat cooks faster). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

4. Resting:

   • Once done, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Enjoy your steak with your favorite sides, whether it's roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

This steak goes great with your favorite red wine.

Enjoy,
