Decide whether to cook your filet primarily over high heat or low heat. There are pretty much two camps when it comes to how to cook meat: the high heat camp and the low heat camp. The high heat camp is straightforward: Cook the filet for 2-5 minutes per side over high heat, searing it to seal in the juices. While this method can certainly produce a fine filet mignon, the searing to seal in the juices idea has been debunked.
Cooking the Filet. 1  Philosophically, high heat = great meat. Cook the filets at high temperature to get a great sear on the outside that is crunchy, tasty, and great looking. 2  Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees; yes, the oven, which is where I prefer to cooking my filet. But if you'd like you can also follow these same steps and cook your filet on the grill. Take the filet mignon out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you want to cook it, and season it liberally with salt and pepper.
