    I've been grilling Filet Mignon for Christmas for 15+ years. It's been hit or miss, depending on weather and my "experimenting" with different methods. This morning, I watched your video and when it came time to grill the filets, I followed your instructions to the letter. All six filets came out perfect and the family raved. Thank you for this invaluable information. I've bookmarked your video and set a reminder for next Christmas as a reminder to watch the video again. Thank you so much for the help.

    I just made this for dinner tonight. I followed his exact instructions except for i had to leave a tad longer bc my grill topped out at 400. I used a meat thermometer along the way as well.
    This was by far one of the best meals ive made. Restaurant quality. My husband loved it and he is a big meat eater and so it was a success.
    Amazingly tender, juicy, and i even made the perfect diamond grill marks. I feel like i can actually cook! Thank u!

    I have done this many times before with great success, question should the lid be open or closed each time you turn the steaks? I alway close the lid to keep the heat and have the steaks cook to the proper temperature . We like medium rare.Steve B

    • @BestFiletMignon
      @BestFiletMignon  Рік тому

      The decision to keep the lid open or closed depends on temperature management. If you can maintain proper temperature with the lid open, no need to close it. If you're in a colder climate, then go ahead and close it. You know your grill's performance and weather better than us. Hope that helps.

    Distance from the flame doesn't matter. Temperature on the grill surface is the key. Since shooting this video, we have moved to infrared grilling for the increased temperature they provide. We consistently see 1000° which sears the meat and seals in the juices.

      +BestFiletMignon so I cooked my filet when my grill got to 400 degrees and followed your instructions and it worked great. It took 15 minutes to get it to 400. Should I keep waiting to try and get it to 500? Seems like it will burn through all my propane quick.

    • @BestFiletMignon

      On a gas grill, distance from the flame might not matter. On a charcoal grill, distance usually can't come into play, since most are fixed. But don't tell me that getting the meat closer to the coles, on say a Weber, wouldn't make a difference. There are two variables in cooking, the amount of heat that you are using and how coupled that is to what you are cooking... and when you say grill surface, are you referring to a cast iron grill grates at 1000° or 1000° at whatever the level of whatever the grill is made of? You're being somewhat cryptic, nonetheless I appreciate you're awesome videos...

    Read the comments and responses..
    1st tip, try letting them sit on a cooling rack in the fridge 8-24 hrs, a short "dry age" intensifies the flavor and a light coat of vegetable oil on either side, then salt and pepper (I'm a purist, salt only) helps the sear as well. And quick-sear the sides! (maybe 45 sec. on sides).
    Rinsing the meat is a preference thing, pat-drying is needed either way, easier to prep, but if the steaks will be open for some time before cooking, give em a shower to reduce bacteria growth.
    When you pull them from fridge, just be sure they are out long enough to get close to ambient temp. "Temp shock" is true enough, they can get tougher but, I don't know about the "redistribution of juices" before cooking... I guess could be a by-product of the fibers relaxing while it warms up. After the cook, absolutely. A full 5 for filets, 8-10 for regular to thick steaks, 15-20 for a roast and 20-25 for a turkey. It'll still be hot, I promise. Tent ur turkey!
    Happy grilling...

    It's true that salting the meat will initially draw moisture out of the steak and shouldn't be done just before grilling. But if you salt the steak on both sides and refrigerate for 1 or 2 hours - known as dry brining - you'll get a great steak that's tender and juicy. The salt does draw out moisture at first, but then it will melt and be reabsorbed by the meat, tenderizing it and not losing moisture in the process. Trust me - I was skeptical but tried it and was so impressed that I always dry brine my steaks now.
