What would you do with these miniature roasts? They are a little over 2" and a pound each.

Considering sous vide or reverse sear. Would like finished product to have a nice sear and cooked to medium. Will be finishing on green egg btw.

Any other suggestions?

RS with a finish in a black iron skillet with a little browned butter, rosemary and garlic. That's how I prefer a filet at least. Maybe finish with a crab hollandaise sauce.

Aight I'm gonna give RS a try. If I'm cooking indirect at 275, how long am I looking to reach mid rare IT?

Grammy would butterfly those and cook them until they were tasted like charred beef jerky. I don't suggest that. Reverse seat the shite out of those.

You need to pour a glass of that eagle rare before any decisions! Yeah, and reverse sear would work, or 600 on the green egg to IT you want.

you really need a thermometer, but I would say with those particular steaks, 45 minutes to an hour

When the meat thermometer beeps, mang.

Also, pull them a couple of degrees before mid rare. Reverse sear has a much stronger temperature gradient than a sous vide, so you're going to get a little bit of carry over from the oven and you're going to get a little bit of heat from the actual sear.

I'd go with reverse seared.
Would be better if you trim off that silver skin and a bit more fat.

Not a joke. Italian joint here in Mecca had an off menu, chicken fried filet that was fantastic.

Cooked rare, then cooled, battered and deep fried. Un fricking beatable. I think the recipe died when the chef/owner had a heart attack.

Otis, it seems a shame for such a nice cut of meat, but I could see trying it.

Best steak I ever had was a fillet that big, cooked for me by the president of a company we did business with (on his grill) in Corbin, Kentucky many years back. Still remember that steak.

I'm not sure anyone knew sou vide back then, but it was the best piece of Rare meat I have ever had on a plate, and it came straight off of a charcoal grill.

Played many rounds of golf with that guy.
