I stopped in at my local butcher on my way home from the office. They had some gorgeous prime grade filets in the case and I ended up coming home with a couple.
The Mini Max was preheated to 450 direct and the Medium was preheated to 250 indirect. I let a cast iron skillet get screaming hot on the MIni Max. The filets were seasoned with salt and pepper, seared hot in the cast iron skillet, then tossed onto the Medium to finish.
Using the same cast iron skillet, I sauteed a couple thinly sliced shallots. Once translucent, I added 1/2 C dry carbenet and 1/2 C balsamic vinegar and let it reduce.
Served it with a classic mashed potato and grilled asparagus. Simple, but tasty.

Nothing better than red meat on Monday except maybe for red meat everyday of the week
Great looking grub as always.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

@Big_Green_Craig, did you add any S&P to that wine reduction?
Every time i try that it comes out bitter. Haven't dialed it in to where it's a nice flavor without being too acidic, I guess. Maybe it's the choice of wind or vinegar I'm using.
