I seared two filet mignon at the same time. 2 minutes each side. Based it with butter, thyme and garlic for about 4 minutes then placed it in the oven at 200 degrees for 8 min. Anything I can do to improve the technique? These are 9oz cuts btw.

W-w-why is that going into Tupperware? 😤
looks good. nice work.
Looks great! My only note would be to sharpen the knife 🙂
Needs crust!
Pat dry before cooking
A filet is great reverse seared. It can help you get a nicer crust. Many guides out there, but Serious Eats has a nice one: [https://www.seriouseats.com/reverse-seared-steak-recipe](https://www.seriouseats.com/reverse-seared-steak-recipe)
But your steak looks great and I would absolutely demolish it.
A tad overdone 1-2 min less in oven
Sorry its texture looks all wrong for filet. Filet is usually so smooth with little visible grain
If medium was the goal, then a job well done 👍
YUMMM!!!
I thought that vase was a giant mushroom first!
A little overcooked for my taste, filet mignon has no fat in it, the tenderest perfect cut, so I like ‘em rare
Overcooked. A filet that size should take a couple minutes each side and done. Made one 3 days ago and it did not need to be chewed at all. I’ll give this one a 6/10.
Maybe a little bit less cooked but that’s just my preference. I’d still eat this. Possibly pat it dryer before cooking, and use a much sharper knife to cut. I’m just reaching for things really, it’s a nicely done steak. Gg
Looks overdone and needs a better sear.
Needs better crusting = hotter, closer, less time, and it’s over cooked Obviously
This made my mouth water so thanks for that 😂
Overdone.
It looks delicious. It’s just slightly overcooked.
6.5/10
I’d put it into my mouth
You’ll get it next time
That’s a medium temp. The fact that you’re having it at work in the lunch room is such a colossal waste. You’re having the most tender, expensive cut of the whole cow reheated in a microwave or something? It will never be as good as when it is right after resting.
It’s like buying a rolls royce and driving it through a ghetto… (Well, not quite)
This makes me so sad.
Less time, more thyme.
That looks amazing fr
Looks pretty delicious to me
Could be a little more rare but it looks delicious
Sexy steak but WTF with the Tupperware? Might as well throw it away instead….
