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.
