Finally, perfectly cooked filet mignon

I must say, I enjoy a piece of steak every now and then. It is high in iron, and that's what I crave for compared to white meats. You do want to eat organic grass fed red meat that has no added hormones or antibiotics. They are lower in cholesterol or saturated fat than commercially fed caged cows. That being said, here is the instruction I found on you tube that made my filet mignon come out...tender, juicy and well..perfect!!! As the chef said..filets are cooked best at high temperature for short period of time.

Directions:
At room temperature, soak filets in a paper towel to dry. Rub with olive oil and sea salt, freshly ground pepper.

Fry in non stick pan or cast iron pan with olive oil. Fry just until both sides are brown but not fully cooked. Continue cooking meat in a oven proof pan in a preheated 425F for only 6-7 minutes.

Jollibee fried peach mango pie

Hmmm. I went to Jollibee in Jersey city, NJ to get one of the peach mango pies. Unfortunately they were out, so I got the banana langka instead. Then I had one of those light bulb moments to make my own Peach mango pie. Crazy huh? The important thing was the filling.

Filling: 1 C of yellow sliced and cubed mangoes, ripe and peaches or Del Monte cubed mangoes and peaches with syrup 2 T peach jam preserves 1T white sugar In a little saucepan, cook the mangoes in sugar for 1 minute in medium heat until mangoes soften. Add the peach jam and mix. Simmer for another 1 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool in refrigerator. Crust: Buy the PUFF pastry crust from the supermarket. Lay out and cut in squares. Add the mango peach filling. Top with ...

Mango Cream Pie

For mother's day, a friend of mine gave me 2 yellow mangoes. Mangoes has to be my favorite fruit. My brother shared with me a mango cream pie recipe along with my friend's mother who made it out of mango puree. This recipe is sort of a combination of both. The best mango cream pie has yet to be from Red Ribbon bakery...sweet crust, mangoes and whipped cream. For good results get sweet ripe mangoes for this recipe or add some white sugar to it. If you can't find any good mangoes, you can also try mango puree and just mix it with the cream mixture. Ingredients: 2-3 cups of fresh yellow mangoes, ripe and sweet..cut thinly 1c organic heavy whipping cream 1 small can condensed milk 1/2 c hot water or hot mangoe puree (heated up) 2 sachets of Knox white gelating powder, (2) Pilsbury ready made pie crustor or graham cracker crust, baked according to directions on package 1 tsp vanilla flavoring 1 Tbsp crushed graham cracker crumbs ...
