Is Filet Mignon synonymous to peer pressure in the food industry ??!!
This is a serious question guys… Are you a Steak Virgin?!
Would that put your reputation literally at Stake??!

Here’s why the Steaks were too High…

Sorry about the PG reference early on…but here’s the thing about peer pressure… either you succumb to it or you don’t!

While living in the UK, I was in this forever dilemma to have a steak or not! In almost all parties or outing scenes I was pressurized to hog a Steak down. You can tell I didn’t perform well under pressure.. & never really had a Steak up til last year.

I always thought my chef friends and other “food connoisseurs” would just glorify eating a steak! Whereas I shunned away from it..
I didn’t  really shy away for religious reasons… it was mostly because I always found the meat pretty chewy!
As you would have guessed this blog is NOT for the all time Steak lovers! It’s specifically targeted at the Steak Newbies like myself.

Pulling up My Steaks!!

The Kobe, Wagyu, Angus can be ruled out for the starters.

I solemnly want to guide you guys towards the most simplest, softest and easiest to chew Steak version to begin with. Hence the blog.

Having a steak for the very first time in one’s life is a Statement. An Underlined one. Also bold and italic.
OK enough of the cheesy stuff! Let me tell you how I stumbled on the Filet Mignon at Portland Steak House.

My fiancé then (husband now) took me to this super chic steakhouse on Brunton road called the Portland Steak House.
It was about to be the most perrrrfect Steak dinner date ever. You ask me why?
For starters, I was gonna have steak for the very first time in life. I mean I have had cheeseburgers but was always rather scared to eat a steak. The thought of eating something raw and rare would freak me out!

So he made me try a T-bone first… which I rather chewed without a smile coz it was hard!

Then we decided to order the most heavenly, juiciest and softest piece of meat on earth… the Filet Mignon!

The Filet Mignon …

Finally, my life felt complete. It was like floating amongst clouds with joy… with just my first bite.
It was dipped in a mushroom sauce.. which I devoured. The sides of grilled veggies and some rice were great to supplement the proteins.

This place definitely brings out the romance in a Steak dinner.
It’s a complete experience .. just floods your mouth with flavor

 

 

 

I firmly believe…You are what you eat; so I urge you to remain soft & juicy as a  Filet Mignon Steak.
