The Perfect Filet Mignon Roast

The Perfect Filet Mignon Roast is crusty on the outside, but also moist, juicy and tender on the inside and seasoned to perfection!  The meat is so unbelievably moist, it’s like butter!

We gave this roast its full flavor by adding prosciutto, onions, and seasonings. But the secret to making a perfect roast is keeping water at the bottom of the pan while roasting in the oven.

When roasting, we highly recommend using a roasting rack with this recipe.  This helps keep the roast super moist while cooking.  It’s also the reason why it’s so tender.

Not everyone prefers poultry, turkey or even a glazed ham for the holidays.

Our family LOVES this Filet Mignon Roast on special occasions, and it’s a nice alternative.

This filet mignon roast will go perfectly with our EASY Garlic Mashed Potatoes and our Sweet Baby Peas with Onions and Capers! 

Serve this roast as your main course with your favorite side dishes.  And, don’t forget the wine! Definitely choose a red! …we prefer to pair it with a Chianti.

Enjoy this fantastic feast!
