Ever been out here pondering what you want to cook and you want to buy one of them really
0:04
expensive cuts of meat like a filet and you don't want to mess it up
0:08
You're in luck folks, I got you covered. The perfect way to cook it
0:11
Come on, the fire is hot. Hey, my name's Kent Rawlings and thank you all for stopping by the backyard today
0:27
It is a beautiful day. It is a little breezy. We got the furry creature on today
0:32
We do a whole lot of grilling and everything else and we don't want y'all to miss out on

0:40

0:48
So without any further ado, let's get after this because it is a good one today
0:53
Looky here. Eight ounces of certified Angus beef fillet. That's what I'm talking about
1:00
And I want you to take them out about 30 minutes ahead of time because they need to come to
1:04
room temperature. A lot of folks be buying these. They do be a little bit pricey, but they are well worth it
1:10
And a lot of folks have a little trouble grilling these things because they get them sort of
1:14
burnt on the outside edges and then they're really cold in the middle, what we would call
1:18
a black and blue. Well I've got a foolproof method here that's going to save you time and you're going to
1:23
have these come out so perfect, you'll be calling me over to come and eat
1:28
So before we even get started on these two beautiful little fillets, we got to have a
1:33
side dish to go with it. And this is magic, folks. It's what you call hocus and pocus, and make sure Shan got the camera in focus
1:41
It is a yellow onion, a Vidalia of what I would call pretty big size
1:47
And you seen me a little earlier mix up this sauce that goes with it, which is some Worcestershire
1:53
some brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, and some garlic clove that's minced up well
1:58
Stir it up really good. It needs to be done about 30 to 45 minutes ahead of time so it can sit there and all them flavors can marry up together. So let's get this onion started. We have got our grill over there cleaned, hot, and ready to go
2:13
So we got him peeled. Remember leave that in on there. It is very important
2:18
Now I want you to take a knife and I just want you to start right here and
2:22
slice about three-fourths of the way down. Then just come right over here next
2:27
to him. Do the same thing. Just keep coming around and there you go. Now you
2:40
don't want to just pull him just break him apart but just give him a little boost so he'll know
2:45
what's going on when he gets in there on that fire he has to cook longer than that filet so
2:49
let's put the onion on first and i'll explain to you what's going on over here on the grill
2:54
so as you can see in here we got the coals over here on this side this side is what i would call
3:02
empty it's the cool side of the deal we're going to take him put him cut side down over here on
3:08
cool side. I gotta have me a little bit of smoke to get around
3:13
there to get on that onion. So what? Two pieces of old
3:17
mesquite wood we do. Shut the lid. We got this one just
3:21
barely cracked and this one just barely cracked. Hoping we can get some of that smoke to roll around there and love on that onion Y seen the quality control down there is under the table in the shade Now when you go to look one and they come in different sizes
3:36
six and eight are probably the most popular size, but you can see it's got a little marbling in there
3:41
As it warmed up, this has tried to disappear. But they're both pretty close to the same size
3:46
which is important in this little method because we're cooking sort of on a time schedule
3:51
Every time you cook one of these, They are not meant to be cooked past medium rare because you just wasting your money if you cook them any longer than that
4:00
Now on the fillet and y'all have heard me say it so many times We put a little lime juice on all this other not on these babies. You don't need them. These things are tender
4:09
I mean, they more tender than Charmin toilet paper and that is tender stuff
4:13
I'll tell you for sure any of you want to guess what's in this sack you in the back. No, it is not broccoli you over there
4:19
No, not Brussels sprouts. This is one of the most famous creations ever known to mankind
4:25
Comes from down there in New Mexico. What is it? A hatch green chili that has been roasted
4:32
Let's cut the stem ends off of them and then just slit them right down the middle
4:38
Take them little seeds, give them a rake out of there. Now we've got them split, so let's divide them because we need them divided
4:45
Now all we got to do is put one right there on that side, one right there on that side
4:55
same on this little feller. Now them look pretty good just like that, don't they
5:00
But they ain't going to be staying on there, they need some help. And who wouldn't want to help besides the hog that come trotting by and he's going to
5:07
give us what? Some thick cut peppered bacon. He gonna lay right there on top them chilies
5:15
Make sure that you pull him around here. Give him a little tug
5:19
cause we don't want nobody to run off. Get you a toothpick and pin him
5:27
We cook him with mesquite, so we gonna use the original today
5:31
Give him a little pat right there on top. I like to make sure that bacon has just a tad on it also
5:38
Roll him over here. give him a little rub. You say you don't have none of this
5:45
Oh my gosh, Shan will have you a link right up there or something, it'll pop up on the screen like magic
5:50
You can order you some. Now y'all have seen me season many a thousand pound
5:54
of beef, you have, and I would tell you, put the lime juice on it, put the seasoning on it
5:59
let's set four hours. Not these little fillets, folks. Ha-ha, it don't need that
6:03
I like to let them set about four, five, 10 minutes just to let everything soak in there good
6:07
but these babies is ready to go over here to some love. So let me carry this right over here
6:12
Y'all follow me, and let's go to the grill. Remember that poor old Vidalia onion that's over here all by itself
6:20
We better check on him. Been here about eight minutes, it has. Let's go ahead
6:24
You can see we're beginning to get a little softening. Now at this time, I like to pull him over here
6:30
take your hand, and give him just another gentle tug, and you can see he's sort of getting a little more tender
6:35
wanting to fall apart. Now we're going to leave him right there on this side. This over here on the indirect side has been greased, ready to go
6:44
First filet contestant, he is there. Hear that there sizzle? We still got some of that good mesquite smoke that is going around
6:53
Shut that lid. We don't want to lose none of that flavor. And we going for how much Four and a half minutes long we are So let start the waterberry This thing got something going on I don even know what it is What is that deal
7:08
It's a compass. So you know what direction you're cooking your steaks at
7:13
You got it? Huh? So you just hit it. Yeah, but I can't read that very good
7:22
So we ain't going to mess with it. We ain't going to look at it. We ain't going to do nothing. We're just going to talk to the big
7:27
Big, you're about 14 minutes out, buddy, before we get to eat something. You going to make it
7:32
Yeah. It's been about four and a half minutes. And I want you to know I got the fire let all the way down
7:37
So I'm just going to barely peek in here. And I can tell that that smoke is getting over here and making things good
7:44
So we're going to turn him over. At this time, folks, I want you to pull on that onion just a little bit more
7:52
I'll let you take a look at the bottom side. Ain't he getting pretty? We're going to rotate him right there, and we're going to put him on the go
7:59
Shut the lid. Four and a half more it is. Well, that other four and a half minutes has passed as the big old lay there resting
8:08
Let's go ahead. Guess what we're going to do? Turn him over
8:12
Put him over here on the hot side. I don't want to let much of that out. We're going to go about three minutes each one
8:18
At this time, they trade places. The onion come back over here
8:22
Give him a little more pulling. and he don't want to cooperate and bloom the whole way
8:28
So we're going to just have to get in here, and that onion is hot, folks. I'm just telling you
8:32
About three minutes. So we've been on three. What happens? Lid goes up
8:39
Turn him over. Look at that good caramelization and color we got on there
8:43
We're going for about three this time on this one. Guess what
8:47
The onion actually does get turned over right there to get some of that heat to come up through there
8:52
On direct? Yes. We ain't gotta worry about shutting the lid this time
8:56
because we're just going about two and a half to three. Then we're gonna let it rest while the onion is basting
9:01
a little here in that secret sauce I told you about. And we are gonna be eating fine dining today
9:23
Thank you
9:53
So, we've been on about that two and a half minutes
10:11
They got to rest, folks, for about two and a half to three minutes
10:15
We're going to shut the lid on them right there. Turn our little onion over
10:20
Look how pretty that rascal is. get them all spread across there
10:24
Don't be using all of this to base because we've gotta save some
10:28
you be wanting to dip that onion in it Now it got a little kick to it but I like mine that way so that brown sugar is going to help it caramelize and stick a little better so just make sure
10:38
everybody has some of it. May have to pull these little blooms apart to get some down on the inside
10:45
of every one of them but make sure everybody gets some because it is a critical part of this
10:50
situation. Now folks I ain't much on presentation but I'll tell you right now for sure
10:58
I'd eat that. I want to give it a little basting right here before we get carried plum away
11:08
I'd say this thing was right because it is bloomed just perfect. Now I want to tell you
11:13
due to unforbidable circumstances these don't chew well so make sure you take them toothpicks out
11:20
but folks I just like to take this one and just cut him down through here. This is what I'm after
11:27
Look at that. That is the way a filet is supposed to be if you cook one any longer than this
11:33
Don't tell me okay because I don't want to know Green chili and onion and everything on it
11:46
Folks how many beagles y'all know get a filet he does how many you got for me
11:51
Man, this is what's happening. The green chili, the bacon. I mean, I love a filet by itself, folks
12:00
But this kicks it up about 47 notches on the ladder. You plumb to the Empire State Building with this
12:06
So tender, so juicy. But you get that flavor you get from that green chili in there
12:10
And the Red River Ranch seasoning, it never masks the taste of beef
12:15
It enhances the taste. So if you want to do this in the house
12:19
We have the perfect recipe for you and a piece of cast iron. The perfect fillet
12:24
Channel have you a little link up there where you can go to it if you don't want to light the grill
12:28
Let's get on to the onion. Now, I like to slice him just like that right there and see that there juice that is left in there
12:36
And that onion, when you cook them, naturally it caramelizes and gets sweeter. But that sauce, this takes me back to my Las Vegas days when I was one of them table dancers
12:47
I mean, I was getting it here and getting it there. Might even show my skirt a little
12:52
We hope you enjoyed the little episode today. We really do. As always, I want to say one thing
