How to Cook Irish Dexter Filet Mignon
Filet mignon is best enjoyed with simple preparation that allows its natural tenderness and beef flavor to shine.
Pat your steaks dry and season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a little beef tallow or cooking oil. Sear the steaks on both sides until a beautiful golden-brown crust develops, adjusting cooking time for their thickness.
For extra flavor, add butter, crushed garlic, and fresh rosemary during the final minutes of cooking, spooning the melted butter over the steaks. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness. For food safety, cook whole beef steaks to an internal temperature of at least 145°F followed by a 3-minute rest.
Because Irish Dexter filets may be smaller or leaner than conventional grain-finished steaks, watch them closely to avoid overcooking.
Make Dinner Feel Like a Special Occasion
Serve your filet mignon with creamy garlic mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, buttery mushrooms, or crispy rosemary potatoes. Add a simple garlic-herb compound butter or a rich mushroom pan sauce for an elegant finishing touch.
With two filets typically included in each package, it's an easy way to create a memorable dinner for two without the restaurant reservation.
