Filets r us!!!

Gotta give Shannon credit for the idea at least. Yesterday at Lynn's Big FIFTY party, Shannon invited her familty over so I could grille filet mignon for them!
Well, they didn't show, but the filet's did. Bought 4 steaks at Jewel, a pound and a half of meat, two inches thick, tender and juicy even before we cooked em!

We tried something different today, and I gotta say we did good. First, I lovingly rubbed our beef with olive oil. Once the beef was thoroughly coated, I sprinkled it liberally with Montreol Steak seasoning, and rubbed that in too.

Meanwhile, Carol was heating some oil in a fry pan. When ready, she seared all sides of those steaks to lock in the flavor and juices. Lots of sides, at 2 inches thick, they were almost mini-roasts. Brian calls out from upstairs "what smells so good in here?"

Then I put em out on a hot BBQ, and cooked em fast, just a few minutes per side.

We had baked pototoes, and baked asparagus. We do the asparagus by putting it in a ziplock bag and tossing it with some olive to coat, then spread it in a cookie sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. 10 minutes in a 400 oven for the best asparagus you've ever had.

So, Shannon, Sarah, and Kayla, along with those fmaily members who don't facebook, you missed quite a meal, but thanks for the idea!
