Center Cut Filet Mignon Roast
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Seasoning: Rub the roast with olive oil, and season generously with salt, pepper, and a blend of herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic. For an added layer of flavor, consider tying a few sprigs of herbs around the roast before cooking.
-
Searing: In a hot skillet, sear the roast on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
-
Roasting: Transfer the seared roast to a roasting pan and place it in the oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches:
- 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare.
- 130°F (54°C) for medium.
-
Resting: Remove the roast from the oven and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes under foil. This ensures the juices redistribute for a tender, flavorful result.
-
Slicing: Slice the filet roast into thick portions and serve immediately.
-
- Herb Butter: For an extra luxurious touch, add a dollop of herb butter (butter mixed with garlic, parsley, and rosemary) on top of each slice just before serving.
- Sauce: Serve with a classic red wine reduction or béarnaise sauce for added richness.
- Resting is Key: Letting the roast rest is essential to maintain its tenderness and prevent the juices from running out when sliced.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair the roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or buttered noodles for a comforting meal.
