How to Cook the Filet Mignon

To view the next video in this series click: http://www.monkeysee.com/play/1589 In this video, executive chef Hector Playuk shows how to prepare three signature dishes which are currently offered at Jacks Restaurant & Bar in Washington, D.C. We first start out with the Caesar Salad Served in a Parmesan Basket, then we make the Linguini with Maine Lobster, Caramelized Fennel, Asparagus, Shallots, Purple Basil, and Tomatoes in a Light Spicy Brandy Sauce and finally the Filet Mignon served with Roasted Potatoes, Sautéed Spinach and topped with a Foie Gras and Port Wine Reduction. It is our hope that by watching this video we will entice viewers to get into the kitchen and cook with family and friends, but when in Washington come by Jacks and we will be more than happy to save you the trouble.

Why would you put salt and pepper in the pan?

Just put it on the meat...

[neonbrowser]

anyone notice he put a nonstick pan with a rubber handle in the oven? some people might miss that!

@SMyD77777 When you salt the meat bfore you cook, salt dehydrates, the salt will draw the moisture out of the steak. To add to it when you salt you oil is distributes the salt evenly throughout meat. Me personally I want my pepper on my steak.

[madisonelectronic]

@SMyD77777 so it would be more evenly sealed in the meat. Spinkle won't do that
