Tips for the Perfect Filet
I always get my filets from the butcher counter at my grocery store. They will be a bigger than what you can buy pre-wrapped and your butcher can help you pick the best cutI highly suggest cooking your filet to AT MOST medium. I prefer my filet medium-rare because it practically melts in your mouth.Medium will be great too, but any more than medium I can’t guarantee you will have a juicy filet.Let your meat rest at room temperature for about half an hour before you grill. If you throw refrigerated meat on the grill it can shock the meat and cause it to toughen up.If you don’t have a grill, you can sear the filets in a pan then place them in the oven at 300 to 350-degrees until you reach the desired internal temperature.
