how long do you cook a filet mignon roast
Before cooking the filet mignon roast, bring to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 475 degrees. In a large roasting pan, place the filet mignon roast fat side up, and rub olive oil over the meat. Generously season with kosher salt, pepper, and about a tablespoon of thyme. Place in the oven for about 12-15 minutes for 2-3 pound roast or 15-20 minutes for 4-5 pound roast. Reduce heat to 350 and cook an additional 20-25 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to determine when it is done to suit your taste (125 for rare and 135 for medium).
