Master the art of cooking a perfect sous vide filet mignon. Discover step-by-step instructions to achieve a succulent, restaurant-quality dish at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 1-inch thick filet mignons
  • 2 Tablespoon (30 ml) s butter
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • Kosher salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Adjust the sous vide machine to your preferred heat setting (132-degrees for medium-rare).
  2. Seal the filet mignons in a vacuum bag, placing two steaks per bag.
  3. Let the steaks cook for 1 hour (for 1-inch thick steak), extending up to four hours if desired.
  4. Once done, take the steaks out and use paper towels to dry them off. Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
  5. Heat a cast iron skillet on high. Pour in olive oil and add butter. Sear each side of the steaks for 1 minute, tilting the skillet and drizzling the butter over them as they cook. Serve right away.

Notes

  • Pat steaks completely dry with paper towels post sous vide to ensure a proper sear and avoid steaming.
  • Use unsalted butter for better seasoning control; adjust salt to taste after searing.
  • Ensure the skillet is very hot before adding steaks for a golden crust without overcooking inside.
