Korean-style Filet Mignon
- 1/2 cup turbinado (raw) sugar
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (hot) sauce
- 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
- 2 (5-ounce) filet mignon steaks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Begin by preparing the Korean-style glaze.
- Combine the glaze ingredients and simmer gently over low heat for approximately 3 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.
- Season both sides of the filet mignon generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large heavy, ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
- Place the steaks in the hot pan and cook until well seared on 1 side, about 3 minutes.
- Turn the steaks over; there should be a nice crust on top.
- Then transfer the pan to the oven.
- Roast for 10 to 12 minutes until the steaks are cooked medium-rare (add 4 more minutes for medium).
- With 1 minute to go, brush steaks with the glaze.
- When done remove the steaks and brush again with remaining glaze.
- Transfer to a platter and cover loosely to let rest for 5 minutes and keep warm.
