Taisen's simple filet with onions
- 2 filet mignon
- 1/2 a medium onion cut up however small or big you like
- 1 stick of butter
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 A-1 steak seasoning rub ( enough to cover each side of the filets )
- 3 tsp red pepper flakes ( more or less to your taste )
- 1 black pepper ( to taste )
- 1 salt ( to taste )
- 1 worcestershire sauce ( enough to cover the bottom of the dish your going to marinate the filets in and coat both sides )
- Take the 2 filets, place them in a dish, pan, whatever you want to use to marinate them in.
- Sprinkle your A-1 rub all over the filet, then pepper, salt and red pepper flakes.
- Turn it over and repeat.
- Add the worchestershire sauce, around the filets not directly onto them.
- Carefully turn them over several times to get them coated with that while keeping the dry seasoning intact.
- If any comes off, add more if you like.
- Add in minced garlic on top and around the filets.
- Save about 1 to 2 pinches for the onions.
- Place the dish into the refrigerator, uncovered for at least an hour, but preferably 3 hours.
- The longer the better.
- Pre heat your oven to 325
- Before taking the filets out, chop up your onion.
- You can dice the onion small, medium or large pieces or slice it up into thin or thick slices.
- Really up to you.
- Take 2 frying pans out.
- In both add in about 1/2 a stick of butter .
- More or less if you like.
- Add onions to one with a bit of pepper and garlic.
- Turn the heat on high for the filets.
- For the onions, medium .
- Fry your onions for a few minutes while getting the other frying pan very hot.
- As soon as your pan is hot enough place the filets in the pan.
- Sear each side of both filets including the narrow sides with fat.
- I cooked the fat side a bit more using tongs to hold it in place.
- Only sear each side for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- You can do longer if you like.
- I did the fatty side a bit longer.
- Place the filets in a casserole dish.
- Add a little bit of worchestershire sauce , just enough for each filet to sit on.
- Top them with your onions.
- Place in the oven uncovered.
- Bake , yes bake the filets for 3 to 10 minutes ( or longer ) depending on how well you like them done and how thick they are.
- Keep a very close eye on these.
- Do NOT leave them !
- These were pretty thick and I like mine with a very tiny bit of pink.
- I cooked them for approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve with any side, or alone.
- Enjoy !
