Barefoot Contessa's Steakhouse Steaks image

This method makes the perfect steak every time. You can season how ever you like. I like to let my steaks marinate a while, that time is not included in times above. Show: Barefoot Contessa Episode: Steak and Sides

Categories     Steak

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (10 ounce) filet mignon
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fleur de sel
1 tablespoon coarsely cracked black peppercorns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and brush them lightly with vegetable oil.
  • Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the steaks in the mixture, pressing lightly to evenly coat all sides.
  • When the skillet is ready, add the steaks and sear them evenly on all sides for about 2 minutes per side, for a total of 10 minutes.
  • Top each steak with a tablespoon of butter, if using, and place the skillet in the oven.
  • Cook the steaks until they reach 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium-rare on an instant-read thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.)
  • Remove the steaks to a serving platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
