Description
Learn how to make incredibly tender and juicy sous vide filet mignon at home. This foolproof method gives you steakhouse-quality results with minimal effort. Perfect for romantic dinners, holidays, or gourmet weeknight meals.
Ingredients
2 filet mignon steaks (6–8 oz each)
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp high smoke point oil (avocado or grapeseed)
Instructions
Season the filet mignon with salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic.
Place the steaks into a vacuum-seal or Ziploc bag with the butter.
Preheat the sous vide water bath to 131°F for medium-rare doneness.
Seal the bag and submerge in the water bath. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours.
Once done, remove steaks from the bag and pat them completely dry.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add oil and sear steaks for 60 seconds per side until a brown crust forms.
Let the steaks rest for 3–5 minutes, then serve immediately.
Notes
Optional: Tie filet mignon with butcher’s twine to maintain shape.
For a different finish, sear with a kitchen torch instead of a pan.
Can be cooked up to 4 hours total without loss of quality.
Reheat leftovers in sous vide at 130°F for 30 minutes.
