Slow Raised Direct/Reverse Sear Filet Mignon

in EggHead Forum
Mrs. 500 decided Filet Mignon from Sam’s. She chose two prime cuts. Because of the thickness I went with slow raised direct and reverse sear. 300* the 600*. Not bad. I prefer more fat and steaky flavor in my beef but this was good. 

I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    It's not a cut I generally gravitate towards either, but that looks fantastic.

    Nice! Curious why raised low direct over indirect? Steaks look awesome!

    Beautiful steaks! Wife prefers the filet, so we do filet. I do reverse-sear as well. I've doing raised on the extender on top of the AR, with a CI pan underneath. Then pull off the steak and crank it with the pan in there, and sear 30 seconds each side in oil, add butter, and another 30 seconds each side. Looks almost as good as yours.  B)

    That sounds like a great way to do them, but that wouldn’t fly here, cause SWMBO doesn’t like any added fats. I have to make it as lean as possible.
