Wagyu Fillets!1

[TxF]

The smallest H‑E‑B had some Waygu fillets minions Friday, I couldn’t resist @ $27 for a pair of 8oz steaks
MY Dad had us over in July for some of what he thought were Waygu fillets, best steak I’ve ever had. Once I got to looking for some to reverse sear my way I figured out that he actually had Ribeye Caps. I can’t afford to over pay for those like he can. So this is my chance to see what a steak like that done my way tastes like.

That’s a good price for those!

Not to be "that guy," but it's filet mignon. Just saying. And where's the pics?

Sorry I’m a bit late with the update. Rubbed them top and bottom with Chupacabra Chop House Blend which is salt and pepper with some seasoned salts and a couple of kinds of peeper mixed together. That’s become my go to blend if I don’t want anything fancy.

Reverse seared them on my Jumbo Joe with some hickory lump charcoal in my little slow and sear basket. I really want to upgrade the grill but it just does everything I want so well.

Came out just like I wanted with one exception, you really couldn’t taste seasoning. Not sure why that was, I usually cook Ribeyes and you can definitely tell what those are seasoned with. Second best steak I’ve ever had, I think I could have cut it with a fork.

Those are excellent steaks. American Wagyu is so filled with oletic fat and we know fat equals flavor. Next time just use a salt brine and maybe some cracked, black pepper. Let that delicious meat shine through. Good work my man !!
