Jackies Filet Mignon Roast Recipes

THE PERFECT FILET MIGNON ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176C). Remove the roast from its package and allow it to rest on your counter at least 30 minutes before roasting.
• In a large roasting pan with a roasting rack that fits most roasting pans, lay the slices of the prosciutto on the bottom of the rack horizontally, overlapping slices. Place the Filet Mignon roast on top of the prosciutto. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and garlic powder generously.
• Scatter sliced onions on top.
• Pour about 4 cups of water into the bottom of the roasting pan, (under the roasting rack) just below the meat but not touching. Drizzle olive oil over the meat.
• Cook for 15 to 20 minutes per pound, about 2 hours. Rotate the roast every half hour. Ovens will vary, so it's best to use a meat thermometer, to help you to roast to your liking, rare, medium-rare, or medium.
• Remove from the rack, and place onto the cutting board, allow the roast to sit for 5 to 7 minutes before carving.
• Carve into 1-inch slices. Remove the string, and transfer slices onto a serving platter. Serve immediately. Discard the onions and prosciutto.
• Serves 8 to 10
