Description
Whole Beef Tenderloin trimmed into Filet Mignon Steaks and cooked with a reverse-seared – then basted with a Garlic Butter while they get flame-kissed over open flames
Ingredients
- 5 – 12oz Beef Tenderloin Filets (AKA – Filet Mignon Steaks)
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 cup Killer Hogs TX Brisket Rub
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1 shallot minced
- 2 sticks salted butter
- 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Drizzle the outside of each steak with worcestershire sauce and season heavily with TX Rub (coarse salt and black pepper can substitute).
- Set up a grill for 2 zone cooking – hot and cool side. I used my primo ceramic grill running Royal Oak Lump charcoal but any grill will work.
- Keep the grill between 275-300°F for the first stage of the reverse sear. Place a probe thermometer in the center of one of the filets and set each steak on the cool side of the grill to start away from the direct fire.
- Once the internal temperature reaches 115°F – about 25 minutes; remove the steaks from the grill and place on a foil lined sheet pan. Rest the steaks for about 15-20 minutes. You will notice the temp continues to climb but it will eventually stop and start to drop. This is where you want to do the sear stage.
- While the filets are resting – add a drizzle of olive oil to an iron skillet. Add the garlic and shallot and saute until soft – season with a little TX rub for flavor.
- Move the skillet off the direct heat and add the butter. Stir until the butter melts about 2 minutes and add the chopped parsley.
- Brush each filet with the butter mixture and place over the direct heat (Fire side) of the grill for 1 minute on each side. Continue brushing with butter at this point and only cook until a char starts to form. It should take about 1-2 minutes total each side. It is important to not walk away and be extremely careful at this point because the fire will be rolling.
- Remove the steaks from the grill once seared and brush with additional garlic butter. Rest the steaks for 5 minutes and serve.
