Keto Garlic Filet Mignon is the perfect dinner for any date night or any special occasion. Needless to say, filet mignon is a steak lover’s dream come true. In fact, the meat melts in your mouth and can be cut with a fork. Filet Mignon is such a tender and choice cut of meat it will have any dinner guest salivating. Consequently, it will bring the steakhouse experience to your own home without having to pay a huge bill afterward which means there is money left over for dessert. Needless to say, there will be many who disagree with me about seasoning my filet with more than salt and pepper. I highly implore you to try it first before making a judgment.
Keto Garlic Filet Mignon
Chateaubriand, Beef Loin, and Tenderloin Steak are the other names Filet Mignon goes by. By the way, the chateaubriand is a thick cut of meat that normally feeds more than two. While this is an expensive cut of meat it can often be found on sale on Valentine’s Day and Christmas at least in my area. Ordinarily, I treat my family to Filet Mignon or Lobster Tails on Valentine’s Day. Of course, it is indeed, my favorite steak after Prime Rib. In conclusion, Filet Mignon should be made in a cast-iron pan, however, if you don’t have one any oven-proof pan will do.
Keto Lobster Tails unquestionably pairs nicely with this steak. As a matter of fact, steakhouses often refer to seafood and beef steaks together as surf and turf. In its heyday, Nevada Casino restaurants offered many Surf and Turf. Those specials always included filet mignon and lobster tails. However, nowadays it is most often a poor man’s version of surf and turf.
Indeed, if you want to spoil yourself or someone else this is the steak for you. At any rate, this is my request for Mother’s Day this year. Check out Amazon for ovenproof thermometers.
