What if you have 4 filets to cook? Can you use a large cast iron and follow the same steps or do you need to tweek it a bit?

This is the ONLY way to cook a filet - I just had to make an adjustment as my filets were a little less than 1 inch thick. So easy and so flavorful! We will never grill a filet again!!

Followed exactly and my 1" filet came out perfectly medium-rare and tasted great. No need to pull out a thermometer. I don't usually pour wine in at the final stage, but this worked :)

This is my go-to recipe for filet mignon. It's perfect. I heat my cast iron to 450°F, measured with an infrared thermometer. Note that it's important to choose a drinkable wine to get quality results.

When the steaks are ready to cook, spray them lightly with the olive oil, and season well with the salt and pepper. Put the steaks on the skillet and cook for 2 - 2 ½ minutes on each side, then sear the edges until browned. Now move the skillet from the stove to the oven, and cook for a further 4 - 5 minutes.

Preheat a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. A hot skillet delivers the best sear. Add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the pan (enough to coat the bottom). Immediately place your steaks in the hot skillet and sear them for 1 minute on each side.

How long should a filet mignon be cooked?

For a 1-inch cut, grill 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare (145°F) or 12 to 15 minutes for medium (160°F).
