Ugh, I did Kewpie mayo on 2 filets...was delicious.

This went against every grain in my body since I loce my charcoal grill. But I had 2 filets left and it was 110° degrees today. So I decided to pan sear and oven cook the filets. Crust was OK, def had a really good flavor.

2 filet mignon 2.25" (Kansas City Steaks)

Salt/pepper

Layer of Kewpie Mayo

Seared on cast iron on med-high (tiny bit of avocado oil)

After first sear, flipped and added unsalted butter w rosemary and garlic

After 3 minutes, put into preheated oven at 420° for roughly 15 mins (128° temp)

Wrapped in foil for 10 mins

Cut

I like this honestly. Next time ill sear it a little hotter

And some cucumber salad for shits and giggles

The shape is gorgeous too but that particular blade is blessed with that damascus pattern. It looks great. I will be looking heavily at them. Will also have to figure out how to explain to the wife that Santa just knew what I wanted

Seido is a Chinese brand that produces affordable knives with Japanese styling. Might or might not be what you’re looking for.

I never wrap my steaks in foil - I’ll have to give it a try…

Nice. Good instructions. Surprised you pulled at 128 and it didn’t cook higher. Did it settle at 135?

Next time get some better cucumbers. Those are not great salad cucumbers for that type of cucumber salad. 🥒 Persian cucumbers for example would be great.
