At first I was intimidated when making my first filet.  I was afraid to overcook it, or serve it for a dinner party and find it to raw just as we are sitting down to eat.  This slow cook approach is my fool proof version and creates a juicy and tender meat that everyone is sure to love!  I love serving it along side roasted sweet potatoes and some sautéed string beans with almonds!

Ingredients:

• 1 whole filet (about 4-5lbs)
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tsp salt

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
• Lay filet on baking sheet and pat dry.
• Rub olive oil evenly over the meat.
• Sprinkle salt evenly over meat.
• Place meat in the oven and let cook for about 1 hour and 15 minutes .  Be sure not to open the oven until time is up. Internal temperature should read 160 degrees.  
• Remove filet from oven and cover with foil.  Let rest covered for 20 minutes.
• Cut into thick slices.
