Introduction

The oven is an often under-utilized tool in the modern home kitchen. It’s used primarily for baking and roasting meat, but it can also be perfect for browning and finishing your favorite cuts of steak. This method works great if you’re looking for a quick way to cook a filet mignon or other tender cut of beef without having to grill it outside or purchase a specialized cooking apparatus.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Turn on the oven and set the temperature to 425 degrees F, which is the standard temperature for cooking filet mignon in an oven, according to Food Network’s recipe for pan-seared steak with garlic butter sauce (which we will cover later). The timer should be set for 10 minutes at this point so that you don’t forget about it when you start preparing other ingredients like mushrooms and onions.

Step 2: If you have an instant-read thermometer, insert the thermometer into the center of the filet mignon through the side of the meat so that it is in contact with a fat-free surface underneath. If not, place a metal skewer end through the eye of the steak so that it comes out on the other side.

• Insert the thermometer through the side of meat so that it is in contact with a fat-free surface underneath.
• Don’t insert into the center of your filet mignon. This can give you an inaccurate reading and result in overcooked meat.
• Don’t use a skewer to test for doneness because it could puncture your steak, causing juices to leak out and dry out your steak even more than it already would have been from cooking alone!

Step 3: Place steak on a baking sheet or baking dish and roast for 10 minutes for rare steaks or 12 minutes for medium rare (135 degrees F).

Place the filet mignon on a baking sheet or baking dish and roast for 10 minutes for rare steaks, 12 minutes for medium-rare (135 degrees F). Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your steak.

You can cook your filet mignon in your oven.

You can cook your filet mignon in your oven. However, there are a few things you need to consider before doing so:

• Don’t use a pan with a non-stick coating. It won’t be able to stand up to the heat of the oven and will likely break apart or melt.
• Don’t use too small of a pan either–you want enough room for all of your meat without crowding it (and thus causing uneven cooking). The same goes for too big; if there’s not enough space between pieces, they’ll steam rather than brown properly on top and bottom! You also want to make sure that whatever vessel you’re using has sides tall enough so that when it comes out of the oven later on, nothing leaks out onto your countertop or floor (which could cause burns). Finally…

Conclusion

Your filet mignon will be cooked to perfection in no time. If you want to make sure that your steak is cooked properly, use a thermometer and make sure it reaches 135 degrees F for medium rare or 140 degrees F for medium.
