Filet Mignon TD pron

[ssv3]

I had a little cookout Saturday night and since there is a Tenderloin Master TD going down now I decided to throw in some Wagyu filets in the mix also.

I trimmed and prepped two 4oz filets which went into the fridge until the evening

Beautifully marbled and your body heat is enough to render the fat marbles if you hold it long enough

Don't get fooled by the name because this is hands down the best charcoal I've burned so far

In the meantime I had pulled the filets out to get to room temp

Used the WGA with coals banked to one side

Indirect first

Once they reached 110* IT

They went directly on the coals until 125* IT

Short rest until they hit 130*IT and plated

Served! :faint: Literally like biting into a marshmallow. It's that tender and literally melts in your mouth.

I'm typically not a fan of filet mignon, but maybe I've never had it prepared correctly. That looks outstanding.

Thanks Kevin!

I burn it for special cooks like this. It's really great charcoal with zero popping, intense heat and minimal ash. They delivered on this one for sure because I had my doubts.

Oh yeah. that's a fine looking Filet Mignon

I'll be honest with you and say me neither but this literally is out this world. Huge difference between the regular stuff.

Very nice Sako!

Lots of marbling in those steaks.
