I ate the best steak of my life last night.

Even better, I cooked the best steak I’ve ever eaten.

I found another bargain at T&T Grocery Store. I found two filet mignon steaks for $3.

I prepared them following a recipe from America’s Test Kitchen. You can read the recipe here. There’s also a video on Youtube telling you the recipe.

I often rely on recicpe’s from America’s Test Kitchen. Their thorough testing and incredibly helpful tips may make the preparation a little more complex, but the results are always worth it.

For this dish, I simmered cracked peppercorns in olive oil, mixed that with salt, and marinated the steaks for an hour. Then I seared both sides of the steak and finished them to our preferred state in the oven. (Amy likes hers well-done. I’m a medium-rare guy myself.)

The steaks turned out tender and buttery. The pepper complemented the taste of the steak and eat morsel seemed to collapse in a wave of flavor when you took a bite.

I cannot recommend this recipe enough for those who want to cook the perfect steak.
