This is the main dish we made for Valentine’s day. It is not light. For special occasions I like to stuff my mouth with rich dishes. My eyes are usually bigger than my stomach;)
The filet mignons were bought at Earth Fare. We seasoned them with sea salt and ground pepper and fresh herbs. They were also wrapped in natural bacon. I could not find organic bacon. Does it exist?
The meat was cooked in two ways. First, in a pot you melt a spoon of butter and you brown the meat. After you place the meat in the preheated oven at 375. Then reduce to 350. You need a thermometer to measure the temperature inside the meat to assure the meat does not over cook. There is nothing worse than over cooked meat.
Now while you are cooking the meat you need to make the crab sauce. Click here for the recipe.
