I cook my filet's in a cast iron skillet. 2" thick steaks, on a very hot cast iron pan, for about 4 minutes. Flip them, and go 2 minutes. Then into a 500 degree oven for 4-5 minutes. Pull the skillet out of the oven, plate the steaks (on warm plates) and let rest for 4 minutes. A dab of butter over the top and serve. As good as ANY high-end steak house.

Have you tried sous vide at all? Just curious how it compares to your method. I sous vide mine at 130F for about two hours then sear on the cast iron at med heat for about a minute per side with a steak weight. I'll never eat a steak out again.

I do mine like Hackman it's quick and Flawless and very tasty will provide recipe and pics later today.

btw what happened to TX dirt did he get the boot? 😲
I have been doing the reverse sear lately and love it. Lots of unique flavor that way. I am very interested in trying the sous vide method though.

Grass-fed filet mignons at Sprouts.
You can really tell the difference in grass-fed meat.

Seared 2 min per side


then placed the pan in oven at 410 deg.

5 minutes for med rare
Let sit for 5 min slightly covered with foil

Placed pre-pared garlic/butter spread and proceed to enjoy the spoils. 😎






garlic & herb butter
1/2 stick of butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic

Soften the butter in a microwave safe bowl until malleable, 10-15 seconds. Stir in herbs and garlic until fully mixed. Spoon the butter onto tin foil doing your best to reshape it to resemble a stick of butter. Place in refrigerator for about 10 minutes and remove 5 minutes before adding to the filet.

So just like last night we started off with a killer Spring Leaf, Olive oil/Balasmic vinegar salad that includes pumpkin seeds, cranberry, cucumber, cilantro, carrots, celery, tomato and deakon radish.

Have to somehow counter the cholesterol garlic butter induced steak. Woohoo



Tonight we added some nice size prawn shrimp for a Surf and Turf effect and because last night's Filets were a tad on the rare side made for perfect leftovers which still left them at medium rare.


I reheated them in a convection turbo boost oven.
This helps to reheat them from the inside so they do not dry out.



We don't re-heat food in the evil microwave oven, it is rarely used in our household maybe just to heat water in an instant.

When I was 15-17 my late father in law would always call someone out for Thanksgiving or Christmas etc to carve the turkey. Kind of hoping you would fail so he could save the day like I witnessed many times as he intimidated his sister's boyfriends. He would say, " John let's see if you are man enough to carve this turkey. I doubt it." The time came where I new I was next. There was no google then but I got mens health magazine and it had a great article with pics and I practiced on whole chickens and sure enough he calls me out the worst time ever because there was everyone they knew it seemed at this dinner. The pressure was on but I was never more confident. I carved it perfectly and he was surprised and impressed. I became the official Carver and been carving like a champ since. Ha just remembered this as we eat some practice Turkey. 😂
Just did a basic thanksgiving test meal nothing fancy but delicious.

Anyone here try Webers Kickin Chicken? They sell it at Lowes but always sold out. It is amazing on everything but we especially love it on pork.
Another easy delicious trick which I just did 3 days in a row that I might of heard here is poking a bunch of holes in a big potato and wrapping it in aluminum foil and pouring some Italian salad dressing in with it. Put on grill for 30 indirect then flip for another 30 and absolutely delicious and the flavor is ridiculous.

Looks good I'm a big fan of Turkey😎

Regarding carving yes it can be tricky I use an electric knife it's almost like cheating but I do not feel guilty about using it. Grinning

I only cook turkey breasts these days...electric knife always...I'm a cheating bastard. When I've got a house full of mooching family I cook up a full bird and de-bone/shred it...float it in bbq sauce and make sammiches. Cheap way to feed a bunch of garbage guts.

I'm a big fan of the Kick'n Chicken. Their Gourmet Burger seasoning is really good too.

I thought I was the only one who took a practice run for Thanksgiving.

Not sure if any of you are aware and I know this sounds crazy but a splash of apple cider vinegar in mashed potatoes makes them come alive. 1 Tbs for 5lbs of potatoes, 2Tbs for 10lbs.

It’s chunks of mozzarella cheese. My wife makes the pizza dough by hand. Let it rise for a few hours. Doesn’t take her long to make it.

The pizza turns out about as good as anything I’ve had and I’m a big pizza eater. Probably my favorite food. Pizza in general is hard to screw up so when it’s hot and fresh I like it. But I do not eat delivery pizza and I won’t eat at Pizza Hut, Dominos, etc.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm on the wrong continent to take advantage of it.

Mexican quinoa with shredded chicken and fresh lime juice. Perfect way to use up the leftover whole roasted chicken I made last night

Tonight’s dinner was very simple. Spaghetti served with a clam, garlic, and herb sauce, topped with freshly grated parmesan. This was my grandmother’s recipe, it’s been in the family for a looooong time.
