Just grilled my first Filet Mingon

[Kaido]

I've been working more with meats on my grill lately and decided to give Filet Mingon a try. All I can say is WOW. I didn't know that meat could taste like this! IT'S AMAZING!! :laugh:

click me

The best part? $5 a steak. I'm never eating at McDonalds again

Hah wait til you try a Kobe filet. You can never go back.

 

[SpunkyJones]

:thumbsup: Looks good.

 

[SlowSpyder]

Try doing a whole roast on the grill sometime. You'll be amazed.

Kobe filet? There's better?! :Q

 

[jonks]

Cuz they're so lean, filets are among the least flavorful of steaks. Go for something with some fat on the sucker.

Considering Kaido's location, I think Wagyu (sp?) beef will be much more economical than airfare and hotel to/in Japan.

Honestly dude, I don't see it. You're eating in effect 60-70% fat. Your lips will taste like grease.


I would split an 8oz filet with 4 people.

Not to mention you'd be dropping what? 40-80/oz?

Are you kidding?? That piece of meat was THE best steak I have ever tasted in my life. It tasted like it was already marinated with sauce from heaven. All I did was add salt and pepper!

I can go for some ribeye on the grill now.

I've got some pork ribs on there right now, slow-cooking for dinner. Hope they turn out well...last time I bought the pre-packaged stuff with sauce in the bag and it was pretty nasty lol.

This is the second thread I've been in where you have immediately (indirectly) put down the OP with some snobby response.

Go you.

Not kidding, go wiki steak or rather try some other cuts and taste for yourself. The good news it's only gonna get better for you. FYI, ribeye is a steak

That is my favorite restaurant in LA. The 6oz American Kobe filet is $60 and is worth EVERY PENNY. And you'll be full. The oxtail bouillon is awesome too.

haha, it's on my list of places to go. The only thing I can't stand is their recockulous reservation system (530 or 10 unless you have many 0's in your bank account)

Yeah I know what ribeye is I've tried T-Bone, NY Strip, and Filet Mingon so far on my grill at home. I'll try a Ribeye, Porterhouse, and Skirt steak over the next month or so. Gonna give myself heart diseasing grilling like this lol.

I know, it's retarded. The only way I am able to get an 8:30 reservation is through my friend who works at William Morris Agency.

Celeb sightings whenever I go though. Saw Henry Winkler last time (the Fonz) and Jessica Alba the time before.
