How to Make Pepper Crusted Filet Mignon
- Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a shallow dish, combine the cracked black peppercorns, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Press the filet mignon into the spice mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the filet mignon for 2-3 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). Roast for 10-15 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- Remove the filet mignon from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider adding a side of roasted vegetables or a creamy sauce to complement the richness of the steak.
