Filet Mignon for dinner and a review


I am a proud member of the Foodie Blogroll and through them I was able to sample some product from Certified Steak & Seafood Company.

A little bit about them in their words...

Our commitment to our customers is simple: Offer the highest quality products at the best price and back it with a 100% guarantee. We source directly with no 'middle man' making our supply chain the shortest in the industry. This allows us to maintain the highest quality standards all the way to your plate. On top of this, we sample all products at the moment of final packaging and have a world-renowned laboratory test for various types of adulteration or contamination. This ensures that the food you purchase from us is pure and safe.

Certified Steak and Seafood Company was formed by the three Frisch boys, Mark, Adam, and Steven; all of whom thought that everyone should be able to buy the highest quality steaks and seafood direct. The brothers experience comes from a three generation family owned wholesale company that is one of the largest seafood importers in America.

They have vast experience in sourcing and selling high quality seafood and meat products to the commercial trade — and bring you the same grade of products fine restaurants, resorts, hotels, and high-end retail stores demand – and at a direct price that gives you tremendous value for every purchase.

I was lucky enough to be sent several of their Prime Angus Filet Mignon to sample and review and I have to say they were delicious.  This is like the steaks we used to get in our restaurant days.  Sure do miss those days but at least now I know where I can get good steaks again!  

All we did was season them with our standard grill spice (recipe below) and grilled them on a charcoal grill to medium rare



Grill Spice 

Can be used to season steak, chicken, seafood, pork and veggies

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp black pepper
1-1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp paprika


Directions:

Sprinkle to taste on any meat that you are about to grill, bake or broil.

A bit about the meat in their own words just in case you don't believe mine...LOL!

Certified Steak & Seafood
Buttery Prime Angus Filet Mignon

If there was ever a steak that you will believe can “melt in your mouth” the Certified Steak and Seafood Prime angus Filet Mignon is it. With a delectable almost sweet beef flavor, and a strong buttery undertone that only Prime angus offers, it has to be tasted to be believed.

Each Prime angus filet is slow aged,  custom cut and trimmed for consistency in color and quality. It is a flavor you will remember long after your meal is over. Great accompanied by grilled root vegetables and horseradish mashed potatoes.

Boos Blocks and KaTom

boo's boards 006

You may have heard about Boos Blocks before but I have more than heard about them. I have been wanting one since we did the renovations on our house about 5 years ago now! John Boos of Boos Blocks have been making some of the finest cutting boards and butcher blocks that you can buy since 1887! When we redid our kitchen my idea was to have a whole counter that would be Boos butcher block. Beautiful stuff but just not practical in my small kitchen!

Fast forward to mid February of this year…the renovations are long done and I have all but forgotten about my hearts desire until Jenna from KaTom emailed me and asked me if I would like a little gift from them in exchange for a review of their site…Have to be honest with you, I hate doing things like this. But when I saw that they would send me a Boos Block I could not pass it by. This was something that I would use over and over again not a product that I didn’t like and would never use.

I wandered around KaTom’s website and saw that they have a huge variety of kitchen items for the residential cook I was truly hooked…Guys, they sell KitchenAid items at competitive prices!!! Some of the stuff was more expensive than I could get at other places but most was cheaper or right on par! One thing I did like was the ease of being able to find what I was looking for on their site. Very user friendly.

So if you are in the market for something for your kitchen –counter top, butcher blocks, coffee makers, mixers, blenders etc. Please check them out!

As Always…

Happy Entertaining!!!

Chili and a product review

Wow...those onions are almost blinding!!!

A couple of weeks ago the people at Amazing Taste contacted me and asked me if I would like to sample some of their products. Of course I said yes. I like FREE things. I have had problems with this before though. I have been sent products with so many items in the ingredients that I couldn't pronounce and others items that I just would never use.

This time it was different though. When I got the seasoning packets (which sell for $.99) I was pleasantly surprised. One of the companies goals is to help people take cheaper (therefore tougher) pieces of meat and help make them better and saving you money at the same time!


Last night was one of those nights where I had been running everywhere and couldn't figure out what I was going to do for dinner so I was looking through the pantry and saw the seasoning packets and pulled out one for Chili. They also have special blends for poultry, pork, burgers, seafood, an all purpose malibu, and steak house seasonings. The best thing about Amazing Taste Seasonings is that they have hardly any ingredients in them. The chili seasoning has, get this, chili pepper and other spices, salt, and dehydrated garlic. Normally I would have made this without the aid of a seasoning packet but to be fair I wanted to try this.

Guess what? It was good. Now of course I change the recipe from the packet all up. I still added a pound of beef, but I also added onions, green peppers, fresh frozen tomatoes and black beans. Would I buy this? I would need to try some more of them before I could say that. Chili seasoning is so easy to do from scratch so maybe not that one but maybe one of the others. I'll let you know!

Used from my freezer:

1 green pepper (29 to go...a little help here guys???)
6 frozen whole tomatoes

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!
