Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- 3
Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over high heat. Generously season one side of the steaks with salt and pepper in an even layer. Place the filets, seasoned side down, in the skillet and cook without moving them until a deep golden-brown crust forms, about 3 minutes. Season the other side with salt and pepper, flip the steaks, cook 2 minutes more, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- 4
Cook in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes more for rare, about 4 minutes for medium-rare, 5 to 7 minutes for medium, about 8 minutes for medium-well, and 1 to 2 minutes more for well-done.
- 5
Remove the steaks from the skillet. Add butter if desired and tent with foil. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- 6
Meanwhile, return the skillet to the stovetop over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter in the drippings. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine to deglaze the skillet and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits.
- 7
Cook until the liquid is mostly evaporated. Stir in the cream, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with more salt if desired. Stir in the lemon juice and serve the mushroom sauce with the filet mignon.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
