Filet Mignon Roast Recipe

I love experimenting with food, both in terms of tasting and cooking. The other day I came across this very enticing filet mignon roast, which was cooked to perfection. I simply loved indulging in it. The secret to get the best filet mignon roast recipe is to marinate the beef tenderloin for a maximum number of hours, so that the flavors are distinct. Here are some recipes for cooking filet mignon.

Ingredients

• Beef tenderloin fillets (1½ to 2 inches thick), 4
• Bacon slices, 3
• Zesty Italian salad dressing, 1 bottle
• Steak sauce, 5 tablespoons
• Water, 2 to 3 teaspoons

Cooking Instructions
This is an easy recipe which is ready within 15 minutes. For making this delicious grilled filet mignon recipe, you need to marinate the tenderloin for about 4 to 5 hours before preparation.

Trim the extra fat from the tenderloins. Take a shallow pan and pour the salad dressing into it. Place the trimmed steaks in the pan and allow them to marinate for about 4 hours.

The longer the steaks marinate, the better they will taste. Meanwhile you can prepare the grill, on which you are planning to cook the tenderloin fillets. If you are using a charcoal grill, then prepare a fire well in advance. Now turning the attention back to the marinated steaks.

Take a bacon slice and wrap it around the steak. With the help of a toothpick or kitchen twine, secure the ends of the bacon. Place this on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, basting it with water and steak sauce occasionally.

• Sweet onion, vertically sliced, 2 cups
• Nonstick cooking spray

Cooking Instructions
Coat the grill pan with the nonstick cooking spray and saute the onions till they turn golden brown. Season it with pepper and salt and stir once before removing it from the heat. Take a small bowl, and combine the other seasonings.

Coat the beef with this seasoning mixture and grill it till the meat gets cooked thoroughly. Place the grilled filet mignon on a plate and serve it with the caramelized onion.

Ingredients

• Dijon mustard (optional), 2 teaspoons
• Paprika, 1½ teaspoons
• Olive oil, ½ cup
• Filet mignon, 5 pounds, 1
• Garlic cloves, 2 to 3 tablespoons
• Freshly ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon

• Large onion, sliced, 1
• Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon

Cooking Instructions

Trim the filet mignon of extra fat and rub olive oil on all sides. Coat the filet with other seasonings and roast it on a preheated oven at 475º F for about 20 minutes. Once a side is done, flip the filet on the other side and cook it for about 20 minutes as well.

You can follow this method if you want the meat to be cooked to medium rare. Wait for 15 to 20 minutes for the roast to cool down completely before cutting it. For the mushroom sauce, heat butter (or olive oil) in a large skillet and saute the onion with the minced garlic till the onion turns translucent.

Next add the mushrooms and continue cooking. When you see that the mushrooms have become tender, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, and vermouth. For an enhanced flavor, add a tablespoon of beef bullion paste to the sauce.

Place the sliced filet mignon on a plate and pour the mushroom sauce over it. Garnish it with a sprig of cilantro or sage and enjoy it hot. This is one of the best filet mignon recipes enjoyed by everyone alike.
