How to Cook (3 Proven Methods)

Best eating: filet shines at rare to medium-rare. Target a final internal temp of 125–130°F for medium-rare (pull a few degrees early and rest). See our Steak Temperature Chart.

1) Cast-Iron Sear (restaurant finish)

  • Pat dry and lightly oil. Season generously with kosher salt and cracked pepper.
  • Sear in a ripping-hot cast-iron skillet ~1½–2½ minutes per side.
  • Drop in butter, garlic, and herbs to baste for the last 30–45 seconds. Rest 5–8 minutes.

2) Reverse-Sear (thick cuts)

  • Cook gently on the cool side (225–275°F) to ~10°F below your target.
  • Sear blazing hot 45–90 seconds per side for a deep crust; rest before slicing.
  • For precise timings, use our Sous Vide & Reverse-Sear Calculator.

3) Two-Zone Grill

  • Set up a hot and a cool zone. Sear hard over direct heat for color.
  • Finish on the indirect side to your temp; rest 5–8 minutes.
  • Need setup help? Try the Grill Setup Wizard.

Pro Tips

  • Dry brine (salt the steaks) 30–90 minutes before cooking for amplified flavor and better browning.
  • Don’t overcook: filet is very lean—pull early and let carryover finish.
  • Finish with butter: a simple herb butter or pan sauce complements the delicate profile.
