So i bought 28 filets for like 30 bucks. HEB was having a clearance, i froze them immediately. After fucking up my first two filets by trying to grill them in a george foreman. Imagine dry steak on the inside, and mushy crap on the inside. yea. big fuck up.

So do we have any creative chefs in here with tips and strategies on how to approach my meat? I would really like your input.

holy crap, 28 filet mignon for $30? That's a pretty sweet deal.

Anyways, it's actually really easy to overcook filet mignon hence why the George Foreman grill probably screwed up your first two. Last time I made it I just lightly seasoned it with salt and pepper and just pan fried it in butter. You probably want it to be at most medium to medium rare, any more done and it could turn out the way you described (anyways they'll continue to cook a little bit more after you take them out of the pan).

Then once the filet's are done just take them out, put a tablespoon or so of flour dissolved in a little water into the drippings. Stir it for a bit until it thickens, and you got a light gravy which you can pour over them. Then again I always like my steaks simple, if you're looking for something fancier then sorry =/

you can look up any filet mignon recipe online or google how to cook filet mignon. basically, relatively high heat for relatively short amount of time. that cut has little fat so it's more prone to drying out.

Don't listen to these heathens: Filet mignon is a fantastic cut and the most delicious dinners I have had in my entire life featured filet mignon.

Anyway, I don't prepare it myself much but I always pan-fry with butter... But I have to say mine, while delicious, don't even come close to what I have had in the hands of a chef who knows what they are doing.

Ny Strip is where the money is at...

But either way, I can't believe you got 28 cuts for $30...

Just a quick question, what do i do with the bacon wrapped on the outside? Do i just leave it while i cook or take it off?

Oh nice, the ones you bought actually have the bacon already on?

In that case just leave them on, but after knowing that I'd probably recommend broiling them then so the bacon gets cooked well. I mean you could probably still pan fry them, but I've never done bacon wrapped filet mignon so I'm not sure how well it'd cook in a pan.

the due date is june 28. thats why i had to freeze it immediately. i saw on the internet that since it was vaccumm sealed it can last in the freezer up to 8months.

I've gotten the same filet mignon you're talking about, the vaccum sealed 4 packs. Unfortunately, filet mignon is not meant to be cooked at home, so it's probably not gonna taste good no matter what. But if you want a way to cook it so that it's at least edible, you should broil it in an oven. Basically season the meat first as you'd like, then preheat then oven to 450-500 degrees. Then let the meat cook for mebe about 10-15 minutes. If it's frozen you have to thaw it first or else it'll come out pretty nasty. Either way it will come out tasting like the worst filet mignon you've ever had, but it's still filet mignon .. I guess.

Just some general tips anytime your cooking any kind of steak, before you cook it let it sit out on the counter, season with some salt and maybe some pepper, and let it come to room temperature before you begin to cook it. Then when it comes to actually cooking it, take the steak out when it is on the rare side of how you want it to end up (about 5 degrees shy of the target i think) and let the meat rest on a plate for about 10 minutes before you cut into it. These 2 things make a world of difference imo.

Cook it on the grill, that's how my dad makes it when we get filet mignon if it's on sale. Just let the coals (or if you use gas I dunno) get nice and hot and for the thickness we get it only take about 12 minutes to get them nice and medium.

OMG where the fuck did you get so many FM for 30$ >.<

I strongly suggest tartar although I wish you hadn't frozen them

Thaw your fillet mignon, and very finely chop them;
Season to taste with Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper;
Get a baguette and slice them into ~ 1cm thick slices (on a slight angle of course);
Drizzle the sliced baguette with extra virgin olive oil and bake them until they are crispy;
Top baguette with fillet mignon tartar.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

there shouldnt be a problem cooking it on a pan or on a grill, just play around with the temperature, dont kill it, keep flipping if grills too hot
obviously the way u season it is gonna influence the taste in the end so do what u feel like doing( theres shitloads of seasoning everywhere) I assume u overcooking it, i dont see how it is dry inside( just stop cooking when its starting to become resilient)
if bacon not cooked throughoutly just press the side of a steak on the grill till its crispy - pretty easy solution

edit: i guess hes trying to cook whole piece, not sliced. But yea that woulda solved the problem haha
