Help...what's the best way to cook a Filet Mignon?

Thanks! It will go good with my oven-crisp baked potatoes, grilled green beans, and caeser salad.

There are a lot of threads about this cut.

Basically
Scorching hot casts iron
Rub liberally with salt and pepper
Let meat come to room temp
Place on pan till the meat releases
Flip
Leave till it releases easily.
Remove and rest for at least 10 min.

If you want it more done place in 500+ deg oven till the meat is at the desired temp

Best way I ever had was bacon around the periphery in a 500 + hot oven until the bacon was crispy-then its done. and moist

1200degrees Pittsburgh rare on my green egg

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I live in an apartment with a crap stove, so learning took a minute. I put my cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat it to 500 degrees. Pull it out, put the skillet on a burner that has heated up to high. Slap the steak in, 30 seconds, flip it, 30 seconds, put it in the oven. 45 seconds, pull it out, flip it, 45 more seconds. Pull it out and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. If the steak is decently thick it will be pretty much perfectly rare like I like it.

If you want it a little more done, go a little longer in the skillet on each side, just be careful not to to wait too long, things cook extremely fast like that.

Oh, and rub liberally with salt and pepper before.

This guy must be a professional troll
