Filet Mignon

We can all imagine a juicy, pefectly cooked filet mignon being served at a fancy restaurant that none of us can afford. In our home we occassionaly eat filet mignon.

The difference is we have to do a tiny bit of preparation to make it perfect. First we purchase inexpensive sirloin steaks, we do this when our grocery store is having a sale. The steaks usually come in a package of 5 or 6 individual steaks. We also purchase a small 1/2 package of bacon.

As described in earlier posts we will age the sirloin in the fridge for 4 -6 days by wrapping it with paper towel and changing the paper towel each time it becomes moist.

Each piece of sirloin is wrapped in bacon, held in place with tooth picks. All that is left to do is grill your meat.

I find that we can occassionally eat like we are at a fancy steak house by doing it this way and adding a couple veggies on the side.
