Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • oil
For serving
  • compound butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set your sous vide cooker to the desired final temperature according to your preferred level of doneness. I suggest 132 degrees F for medium rare. See the temperature chart in the notes for other options. Wait until the water reaches your desired temperature.
  2. Season the steak with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the filet mignon in a vacuum-sealed or zip-top bag using the water displacement method. To use the water displacement method, seal the bag most of the way and slowly lower it in the water, letting the water pressure push out most of the air.
  4. Place the bag in the preheated water bath. A 1 1/2 to 2-inch filet mignon should cook for 2-4 hours.
  5. After cooking, take the steak from the bag and use a paper towel to pat it dry. Then sear the steak in oil a hot cast iron skillet or on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side to develop a nice crust.
  6. Serve with sauteed mushrooms and compound garlic butter.

Notes

  • When it comes to seasoning your filet mignon, less is more. A sprinkle of salt and pepper is all you need.
  • Make sure the steak is dry before searing.
  • Add one hour to the suggested cooking time if your steak is frozen.
  • If your butcher gives you a thicker steak, it needs to cook longer. Add 1 hour to the cooking time for every 1/2 inch of thickness over 2 inches.
