Sear the meat:
<u>Cooking meat such as filet mignon:</u>
- Pat the meat dry with paper towels
- Let sit for 20-30 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC)
- Season liberally with salt and pepper. Cover all sides with seasoning
- Heat up an oven safe pan and keep on high for 5 minutes until scorching hot. Add a tablespoon of oil
- Once you see the oil start to smoke, add the meat to the pan. Do not touch the meat until the crust has formed, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use tongs and flip the steak.
- Start to add some butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan to create more flavor to the meat.
- Once the butter is completely melted, start spooning it on top of the meat for 2-3 minutes.
- Put the pan in the oven right away and cook:
- 6 minutes - rare
- 7 minutes - medium rare
- 8 minutes - medium
- 9 minutes - medium well
- 10 minutes - well
- Take the pan out of the oven and gently put the meat on a cutting board.
- Leave for 10 minutes before slicing to have a tender steak.
Yes. I would definitely start with beginner licks :)
