How long to cook beef fillet
For a more precisely cooked steak, use a meat thermometer and insert it into the thickest part of the meat to take the internal temperature.
Medium rare: 57ºC/135ºF. For Medium: 63ºC/145ºF. Medium well: 66°C/150°F. If you prefer medium-well or well-done meat, I would suggest placing the meat in the oven to cook for a few minutes. This will prevent the meat from burning on the stove and will roast beef tenderloin to your preferred doneness. Well done: 71°C/160°F.
