[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tricks??? Mind always comes out leathery and this is even with filet. What am I doing wrong? I usually try to cook on cast iron and do two minutes a side and then oven and still tastes bad.[/quote]

Not enough fat in your steak cuts obviously.[b] Fillet mignon is notoriously tough as leather[/b] due to being so lean, so they wrap bacon around it to make it more palatable. [/quote]

A butter knife cuts a decent fillet.

Are you sure you are being sold fillet mignon? [/quote]

+100  I've never had a tough as leather filet, nor one wrapped in bacon.  [/quote]
I've heard of places wrapping steaks in bacon, however I think that a) they likely arent really filet, possibly baseball sirloin or tournedos. b) bacon and steak cook at drastically different rates. The bacon is either burnt and the steak perfect, or the steak perfect and the bacon raw and flabby. I also dont understand (and abhor) bacon wrapped around scallops. Scallops are overcooked to heck before the bacon even gets a smidge of color. [/quote]

DP I attribute this phenomenon largely to the wrap-everything-in-bacon fad.  [/quote]
