Bazarvospeed Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I eat this stuff about every month in the summers. first eat some grilled peppers&onions to bring up them taste buds!!! I'm lovin it medium - well done. Leave very-little pink in the middle , keeping the juicy tasteness. Awsome with just pepper & salt , if you need to A1 mixed with a hint of tobasco sauce rocks!!

HtownTurboBrick Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 rare -medium rare is the only way to have filet mignon. actually purist say medium rare is already cooked too much, but i can't eat steak rare. i'll take it medium rare preferable i'll deal with a little more towards medium. medium and more and i'm sending that sucker back for a proper one.

SkyWriter Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 rare -medium rare is the only way to have filet mignon. actually purist say medium rare is already cooked too much, but i can't eat steak rare.the reason is the fat content of the Filet is so low, that it drys out if you try to cook it up to medium. course, you can try to find marbled Filets, or wrap them in bacon. but rare to medium rare is fine with me Grilling season started ages ago.yeah, i did burgers on Saturday but it's not the same :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackknight Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Preferably warm and moving slightly. Nothing better to help work up and appetite than having to chase your steak before you eat it.Rare but warm center. And ya'll need to common down here to Alabama. It's always grilling season!!! Heck, this January I fired up the charcoal while it was snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadoc Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Medium. I grilled some up tonight as a matter of fact. Fillet, grilled-in-the-husk corn on the cob, salad, veggies and some ice cold tea. Mmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theForgottenone Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I typically prefer mine medium. I just want slight pink but not red blood juice pouring out in the middle of my steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
