Maxxs Filet Mignon, Uncomplicated - salt

Method

• The recipe Im about to share with you is so easy, even a caveman can make it.
• Our bachelor-friend shared this recipe with us; I modified it a bit, and named it after his nickname in his honor.
• You just need a Ziploc bag and a covered roasting pan with a rack (my small, cheap one works wonderfully) to get started!
• 1.
• Preheat oven to 400F.
• 2.
• Measure salt, garlic and pepper into a Ziploc bag.
• Seal and shake until combined.
• Reopen and add the entire roast to the bag.
• You do not want to cut it!
• You just want to remove the wrapper and dump it in there!
• Shake until completely coated.
• Remove the meat from the bag and place the cut of meat (fat side up) on the rack inside the roasting pan.
• 3.
• Cover and bake for an hour at 400F, then LOWER THE TEMPERATURE to 250F and bake for another two hours.
• Dont add water or anything else.
• Just leave it covered tightly and it will be plenty moist!
• 4.
• Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• Serve with peppers, onions and mushrooms, sauteed in butter or olive oil.
• Mashed potatoes are wonderful, too.
• Crusty bread.
• Salad.
• This is such an easy meal to impress with, and it doesnt make a mess out of your kitchen!
• I like to buy a few meat cuts when theyre on sale and freeze them.
• Theyre not as cheap as hamburger, but most definitely cheaper than taking everyone out to a restaurant.
• Please note that you can add more pepper, if desired, if you like a bit more heat.
• And you can certainly make more than this at one time.
• Just increase the cooking time (for example, for 7 pounds of meat, I would bake it for 1 1/2 hours at 400F, then for 3 hours at 250F).
