Take your BBQ to a whole new level with this perfect MEDIUM-RARE Filet Mignon recipe. This recipe works for any type of beef but I recommend using a 6.0 oz Snake River Farm Black Grade WAGYU Filet Mignon. The 8 hrs sous vide bath is the ideal time to render the fat in the marbling (giving the roast a flavor that cannot be obtained otherwise), while tenderizing the meat to perfection. This recipe is perfect for a MEDIUM-RARE roast. But you may want to adjust the target temperature to taste: -Rare: 120 to 125 degrees F -Medium: 140 to 145 degrees F

Ingredients for 1

  • 6.0 oz Snake River Farm WAGYU Filet Mignon (Black Grade)

  • 1 tsp Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt

  • 1 tsp ground black peppercorn

  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil (enough to brush entire pan)

  • 1/2 tsp of butter (Recommended: Black Truffle Butter)

  • Guerande sea salt (optional)

Directions

  • Step 1

    Set your Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 131ºF / 55.0ºC

  • Step 2

    Remove Snake River Farm Filet Mignon wrapping, rinse, and pat dry. Trim the Filet Mignon to remove fat and silver lining if/as needed.

  • Step 3

    Mix the salt and pepper and rub the Filet Mignon evenly with salt/pepper mix.

  • Step 4

    Place in bag. Optional, to taste, add: - 1 sprig of thyme (1/2 half on each side); - 1 sprig of rosemary (1/2 half on each side); - 1 clove minced garlic. Position thyme, rosemary, and garlic evenly on both side. Vacuum and seal the bag.

  • Step 5

    Place sealed bag in Anova cooker and let the meat cook for 8 hours uninterrupted. Make sure to note starting time in case program gets interrupted.

  • Step 6

    After 8 hours, take bag out of cooker. Pat dry, and brush with olive oil.

    • Finishing Steps

    • Step 0

      Place on hot cast iron pan and cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until obtaining desired bark (crispy dark layer of seasonings and flavor that builds on the outer layer of your bbq).

    • Step 1

      Remove Filet Mignon from grill and place on a cutting board. Sprinkle with butter and cover loosely with aluminum foil until the butter melts. I personally LOVE and recommend using black truffle butter. I find it to be the best match to any beef cut, but it has a very strong flavor which is not to everyone’s taste.

    • Step 2

      Slice and serve. Sprinkle with Guerande sea salt to taste (optional).

    • Step 3
