This was by far one of the best meals ive made. Restaurant quality. My husband loved it and he is a big meat eater and so it was a success. Amazingly tender, juicy, and i even made the perfect diamond grill marks. I feel like i can actually cook! Thank u!

    On a gas grill, distance from the flame might not matter. On a charcoal grill, distance usually can't come into play, since most are fixed. But don't tell me that getting the meat closer to the coles, on say a Weber, wouldn't make a difference. There are two variables in cooking, the amount of heat that you are using and how coupled that is to what you are cooking... and when you say grill surface, are you referring to a cast iron grill grates at 1000° or 1000° at whatever the level of whatever the grill is made of? You're being somewhat cryptic, nonetheless I appreciate you're awesome videos...

    The decision to keep the lid open or closed depends on temperature management. If you can maintain proper temperature with the lid open, no need to close it. If you're in a colder climate, then go ahead and close it. You know your grill's performance and weather better than us. Hope that helps.

  • @MtnBadger

    Read the comments and responses.. 1st tip, try letting them sit on a cooling rack in the fridge 8-24 hrs, a short "dry age" intensifies the flavor and a light coat of vegetable oil on either side, then salt and pepper (I'm a purist, salt only) helps the sear as well. And quick-sear the sides! (maybe 45 sec. on sides). Rinsing the meat is a preference thing, pat-drying is needed either way, easier to prep, but if the steaks will be open for some time before cooking, give em a shower to reduce bacteria growth. When you pull them from fridge, just be sure they are out long enough to get close to ambient temp. "Temp shock" is true enough, they can get tougher but, I don't know about the "redistribution of juices" before cooking... I guess could be a by-product of the fibers relaxing while it warms up. After the cook, absolutely. A full 5 for filets, 8-10 for regular to thick steaks, 15-20 for a roast and 20-25 for a turkey. It'll still be hot, I promise. Tent ur turkey! Happy grilling...

    I just wanted to thank you for taking your time out to make this video. My name is Keith. My wife and I live in Paso Robles, CA (Wine country) and we just purchased 4 beautiful 8 oz fillets. I'm curious, earlier you said "at this point I don't like to use salt," but shortly before grilling you added salt anyway. So you do want to add salt, but just not at that particular point? Also, just to be clear, I should grill the fillets at 500 degrees with the lid open. Also, what are your thoughts about adding bacon to the rim of the steaks? One more question, does thickness matter in terms of how long you cook them? I downloaded the Omaha Steak timer which I've used on Ribeye's but now I'm a 100% fillet and red wine man!

  • @BestFiletMignon

    Keith G We prefer not to salt until we're close to grilling time so as to not draw moisture out of the meat. Some take a different position on this but that's ours. 500 degrees with the lid open is fine though we have moved to a Solaire Infrared Grill since shooting this video and it generates 1000 degrees with the lid open. Sears like nobody's business. We know people like wrapping their filets in bacon. We LOVE bacon but our filets are so good that they don't need it. It's entirely up to you. Our 12 oz steaks take a little longer than our 6 and 8 oz because they're taller but the difference is negligible. Thanks for acknowledging, happy grilling, and happy imbibing!
