A nice filet mignon is great every once in a while
 

Just made one of these, their great, from omaha steaks. 8 oz filet mignon. Fucking sucks, I'm in the process of flipping the steak, and some chick interrupts me, and I go to pick up the cast iron skillet, and forgot that I had the glove off, and I grab the cast iron skillet with my bare hand. That fucker just got out of a oven that was over 500 degrees right before I started cooking! Tip for anybody, searing a steak is better than BBQ atleast for filet mignons! :)

It's great, rare-med rare. Still red in the middle, the best way for a filet mignon!

Goggles??

jDoG

you havn't sceen me eat a good steak have you?

Thanks alot, I'm hungry now!

No, I haven't sat with you at one of the VIP parties, this year you were at a different table at the thinkreel party!

jDoG

damn it is 2:30am here and your making me want a steak. that looks yummy.

Dude, you need to learn how to take care of your pan. You are not supposed to wash cast iron pans with anything but water.

It's my roommates pan, so I don't know what he's washed it with, but I know all I wash it with is water! Plus it had some olive oil on it :)

jDoG

:thumbsup , but I think rape oil works better than olive oil!

Yummy!

you should be grilling those anyway

omg :helpme no foreman grill :Graucho

Hmmm, I'll have to try the rape oil. Haven't used that yet!

jDoG

Fucking foreman grill? Fuck no, cast iron skillet, best way, I doubt the foreman could cook it better, and I'm not about to waste a whole fucking mignon trying the foreman grill!

jDoG

Looks good. :thumbsup

Yeah, that would be wasting good meat. It's much harder to get that tenderness so the meat melts on you tounge with a grill.

Yes it is! You just can't get it the same as searing it. And it's not like I just went out and bought a $4.00 steak at the supermarket, where it doesn't really fucking matter! :1orglaugh

Some people just don't know the right way to cook a steak!

You should try cooking game. Deer fillet is one of my favorites. There are so many more flavours with game.

I wanna get some Lamb, that's so fucking good, just haven't found a good enough place to get it around my area yet. The place I get my steaks only usually have it during the holidays, but I could order it directly from omaha. Haven't tried Deer yet, that'll be next on my list! :)

jDoG

Not so fond of lamb, many people like it thou. Remember that if you try roe deer, you need a good sauce cause the meat isn't as juicy as beef.

yum...some nice bearnaise sauce would be awesome :thumbsup

god I'm hungry! stop it! I'm going to prepare some roast beef in like 15 min.

I like filet mignon every once in a while as well, the consistency is a bit too smooth and soft to eat all the time.

Most of the time I actually prefer a ribeye.

i really gotta cook one at home some time whenever ive had filet mignon its when ive eaten out...

What's that you seasoned it with?

Yummy

Steak Seasoning.

good shit

jDoG

Steaks are the bomb and yours is cooked to a perfect temp! One thing that bothers me is why in the world would you cook a tender filet like that on a frying pan???? Those babies need to be grilled to perfection instead of frying it. :2 cents:

I do like some steaks cooked Pittsburgh Rare and they're cooked on a red hot skillet! :thumbsup

I like it well done

Care to share your technique with us? Never tried searing a steak before, I am used to bbq, but would love to try it this way. Yours looks delicious:glugglug

That's great, still red in the middle, not rare at all my favorite!

mmmmm steak :Graucho

ew ew ew ew ew

I prefer to sear it in a cast iron pan like you did, but then finish it on the gril over a pecan or mesquite wood fire

Sure. It's pretty simple. I take get the steak seasoned how you want. Usually I'll put a little Olive Oil on each side of the steak, brushed or rubbed in, then put the seasoning on.

Then put the cast iron skillet into the oven, and get the oven to 500 degrees, and I'll leave the skillet in there for a while to get nice and very hot, and this gives time to let the seasoning flavor get into the steak.

Then once the skillet is hot, bring it out like I did just put it on the oven door and put a little Olive Oil on the skillet. Then place the steak on the skillet, let it cook on that side for about 2-3 minutes, the less the time, the more rare it is. WHich I put it on for about 2 mins. Then flip it over and sear the other side for about two minutes, after both sides are sear'd, I put it in the oven for about 5 minutes, for a rare steak. But for medium leave it in for another min or 2.

Now this is for a 8 oz filet mignon. I don't know the timing on a 12 oz one. I believe it's a min or 2 longer on each side and then a few extra in the oven.

But this the only way I eat my steak! :Graucho

Hmmm, I'm gonna have to give that a try sometime!

jDoG

I'd hit it. :thumbsup

Mmmmm...me too. That looks like a tasty streak!!!

Yeah for sure ! I think I'll eat one tonight! :Graucho

Doest compare to my double cheeseburger from McDonalds



:1orglaugh yeah right :(

nice, but too rare for my taste... med-well is perfect

my gf has been marinating awesome steaks since a day and a half... having them tonite too, should be awesome

For a mignon, med-well is too much, it takes away the tenderness & some of the taste! :Graucho Med-rare is the highest I go, but mostly try to get rare! :)
