Think about cooking your roast to the correct temperature rather than getting caught up with how much time it spends in the oven. Some general guidelines for roasting times are: at 425 degrees F, a 2- to 3-lb. whole filet mignon will be done in 35 to 40 minutes and a 4- to 6-lb. cut will take 45 to 60 minutes. Use temperature as your precise guide for doneness and remove the roast from the oven when it is 5 degrees below the final temperature.
1 If you don't have time to thaw filet mignon in the refrigerator, thaw it in cold water: Place the meat in an airtight package, then submerse the package in a bowl of cold water. 2  Pour out the water and replace it with fresh water every 30 minutes. 3  Thawing in cold water takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the thickness. Place a heavy cast iron skillet or a broiling pan in the oven and allow it to heat. 2  Rub the filet mignon generously with extra-virgin olive oil, then sprinkle the meat with freshly ground black pepper. 3  Remove the hot pan carefully from the oven. 4  Place the meat carefully in the pan.
