Here’s a dish, that unfortunately I did not eat, but felt that it was to amazing to deprive you guys from it. On the 14th of February, also known as the day of looooove, valentines day, my Uncle prepared a perfect meal for his wife, and daughter. This meal took him only 15 minutes to make, yet I was told it was phenomenal. To him the most important part, in perfecting this dish was the choice of meat. He chose fillet mignon for this dish, and the reason behind that is because of the fat that is marbled into the meat, hence making the meat very flavorful and juicy, when cooked medium-well. In his opinion, if the steak was perfectly cooked, then there is no need to add any additional spices to the meat other than the occasional salt and pepper.
Ingredients:
- Filet mignon (The most preferred kind for this recipe)
- Salt
- Pepper
Preparation:
- Place the steak on a paper towel, and begin to tap it.
- Salt and pepper the steak to taste.
- Heat up the grill to about 425 degrees F.
Cooking:
- Put the steak on the grill (Do not move it for at least three minutes).
- After 3 minutes, move it around (DO NOT FLIP) in order to get the diamond shape.
- After 4 minutes in addition the three minutes, you flip it on the other side.
- and the repeat the same exact steps for the other side to get the diamond shape.
- When it is fully cooked, get a small piece of butter (around a tsp) and allow it to melt on it. To give it’s glossy look
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes on a plate, before cutting it, in order to maintain its juiciness.
This dish can be accompanied by anything, my personal favorite side dish with steak would be potatoes, fried, mashed, or roasted I don’t care I love them either way. But as you can see in the pictures below, he paired the steak with some mushrooms, and macaroni and cheese.
