In this video, the Kansas City Steak Company‘s corporate chef shows us how to get the most out of a beautiful filet mignon.
That’s one steak you don’t want to overcook – its juiciness and tenderness are essential to this particular cut.
Check out these key tips and then grill away, my friends!
I always say, “A great griller is an informed griller.”
Okay, I don’t always say that. That wouldn’t make me very fun at parties. But it makes sense, right?
Enjoy!
So, I’m not a chef. Far from it. I’m just a regular Joe (okay, Joanne) who loves beef and wants to keep it interesting in the kitchen.
I know there are things I should know. . . but don’t.
For instance, I only recently learned that I should soak my wooden skewers before cooking with them on the grill. For kebobs and the like.
Huh. That seems so elementary. But somehow I had missed that lesson.
What do you have a question about when you’re cooking a tantalizing steak or roast or beef tips?
Here’s a nifty little place where you can ask a real-live chef your burning questions about beef. Get it? Burning?
I’ve done that a time or two.
Just click on the “Ask the Chef” box to the right on this web page and submit your question(s).
It’s that simple!
Have fun perfecting your beef techniques with a chef’s advice! And the best part? It’s free!
Esquire has a great series called “Ask a Beautiful Woman” and there are endless subjects covered by these lovely ladies.

Oh. Yum.
It’s time to get outside and grill! Here’s a great video to help you get the most out of your Kansas City Strips.
It’s amazing how different cuts should be cooked slightly differently to enhance the cut’s flavor. You can really take it to a whole other level if you take the time to really know your beef.
Follow these instructions and see how it works for you!
Or…just watch and enjoy the beauty of a gorgeous steak. I just like to watch it sizzle and cook and imagine the smell.
Then, of course, it makes me want to go grill one.
Happy grilling!

Filet Mignon from Kansas City Steak Company on Vimeo.
The corporate chef at the Kansas City Steak Company has some great tips for us on how to cook a fantastic filet.
Thank goodness. I’m going to be listening up because I don’t always know what I’m doing at the helm of a grill. Any advice he has would be a good thing for me to pay attention to.
And I certainly wouldn’t want to ruin a perfectly beautiful filet mignon! That would be a crime.
Check out the video here and get the perfect filet to grill while you’re at it!
Happy grilling, everybody!
Have you seen this gadget?
It’s a grill humidifier. You pour in any liquid whose flavor you’d like to see infused in your meat, set it on the grill next to your steak – and voila!
It flavors the meat while you grill.
I can see so many possibilities with this. Orange juice. Beer. Vodka steak?
I don’t know, would the vodka explode?
Anyway, it’s an interesting theory. I wonder if it truly does work in reality.
Has anyone ever tried this? It sounds yummy!

I’m often up late at night. The TV is on and you can imagine what kinds of ads I see.
Everything from “enhancement” products to hearing aids to – well – THIS:
It’s the Grill Glove!
Seriously, you put it on, reach right on that hot grill, grab your steak, flip it and all is well!
It’s even dishwasher safe. Bonus.
I don’t know what I think about this. Will I accidently burn part the of my arm that’s not covered by the glove as I reach over HOT FLAMES?
Also, do I want to actually pick up my steak with my hand as it is cooking? I’m worried about the “ick” factor here. Will it feel mushy?
On the other hand, Anthony Sullivan is endorsing it. So you know it has to be top notch.
Who’s Anthony Sullivan again?
What do you think? Do you have any experience with the Grill Glove? Or is this a flash in the pan?

Okay, this is so cool. Technology absolutely rocks.
The Kansas City Steak Company now has a free iPhone app that lets you select your favorite cut of meat (you know, T-bone, filet mignon, etc.), choose a thickness and how well done you’d like your steak and then the app’s timer will tell you how long to cook it and when to flip it.
Genius.
Besides that, it has tons of recipes, grilling tips and a steak reference library. How awesome is that?
Go here, check it out, then download the app on your phone and have fun playing with it. It’s free and it’s my new obsession.
Let me know what you think. I’m dying to know if you try it out this Labor Day weekend!!
