Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon

Re:"Haricot Vert", what's with that? Must everyone always self-aggrandize themselves by adding foreign language to their comments? come On! Green beans are green beans, they don't need to be called Haricot vert! Get a life!

Has anyone tried this on a Foreman Grill? What were your results?

Simply excellent and simply simple. Use a grill pan, get it *very* hot, brush with the oil and sear each side. Give each side a quarter rotation for a nice grill pattern. Goes great with the slow roasted roma tomatoes. Try with steamed haricots vertes drizzled with a little bleu cheese vinaigrette.

Who knew it this easy to cook a filet on the stove that tastes just as great as the $40 steakhouse version? Use Montreal steak seasoning instead of plain salt and pepper, then drizzle both sides of the filets (not the pan) with olive oil before putting them on to cook. For a nice sear and credible grill marks, use a ridged grill pan instead of a skillet. The secret is to make sure the pan is very hot before dropping the filets on it, then don't touch them until it's time to turn them.

This has become a favorite dinner. It is so easy to make yet looks so gorgeous. It also tastes just perfect every single time. Highly recommend this for a romantic dinner for 2.
