Want luscious steaks? Start with a reverse sear. We slowly cooked filets mignons in a 275-degree oven for about 25 minutes until they were just shy of medium-rare and then we browned them in a hot skillet.
Cook: 40

  • 2(6- to 8-oz) center-cut filets mignons, 2 inches thick, trimmed
  • 1tsp kosher salt
  • ¼tsp plus pinch pepper
  • 1TBS vegetable oil

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 275°F. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle evenly with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Place steaks in a 10- to 12-inch oven safe nonstick skillet and roast until steaks register 115°F (for medium-rare), about 25 minutes, or 125°F (for medium), 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove steaks from skillet. Heat remaining 1 TBS  oil in now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Place steaks in center of skillet and cook until well browned on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.

Serve.
