Meat Lovers

Hi Guys Hope you are all well and healthy where you are......

So today I was thinking ...... do you love red ... or shall I rather rephrase that....... do you enjoy having red meat or are you a chicken, pork  or fish sort of person??....

In my household my hubby absolutely love red  meat.... to be more precise... STEAK..... a good thickness and good marbling of fat .....

So for today I thought, for our girls and guys that is still deciding that to do for Valentine day, well here is another option for that all important dinner for your loved one.

The most important part of a perfect steak I think is the cut..... to decide which cut will be the most tender and flavor some when cooked.  For us fillet mignon is top ranking followed by rib eye, sirloin and then rump.... all cut about an inch in thickness.

So.... now for the  important part of how to cook this piece of meat..... do I marinate or not ......nnnnnn..... so many questions..... Ever hear of   ''KISS''...... (keep it simple stupid)..... not that I'm saying you're  stupid...... someone else came up with this......

We prefer to only have a good amount of good quality of rock salt and pepper when doing the cooking.... So this is what I do and never had a problem with tenderness and flavor of my dish....

So my chosen cut of meat is fillet mignon..... get a cast iron skillet screaming HOT, once that happen put a half stick of real butter in that skillet and straight in with your meat.  Season with a good amount of salt and pepper. Keep cooking one one side till the desired ''done-ness'' is achieved, and then only turn the meat to cook on the other side.

  How cooked you like your meat, will depend on how long the cooking time will be...... for us we love medium to rare meat.

Here's a table for you guys........

After the desired cooking is achieved I like to ''rest the meat for about 3 minutes and then just top it the a slice of herb and garlic butter.

Well guys..... have a go ..... it's real easy and oh.... soooo yummyyyyy..... have fun and enjoy your cooking after all it is fun to try all this easy and rewarding stuff in the kitchen.

So once you have tried this let me know what you think ...

Until next time 

Be blessed and stay save and comfy.
