Filet mignon prices are getting crazy expensive… so what if I told you there’s a cheap steak cut that eats just like filet mignon? In this video I show you how to take a sirloin filet from a whole sirloin and turn it into an incredibly tender steak using the sous vide method and a hot sear on the Blackstone griddle. This budget steak trick can save you serious money while still delivering restaurant-quality results. If you’re looking for the best cheap steak cut, how to cook steak on a Blackstone, or how to make steak tender with sous vide, this technique might just change the way you cook steak forever. I also stopped by Colonial Meats in Trinity, North Carolina to show how to ask your butcher for this hidden cut. If you love Blackstone griddle recipes, steak cooking tips, and budget cooking hacks, you’re in the right place.
Equipment Needed:
Sous Vide
Vacuum Bag Sealer
Griddle
Ingredients:
2 lb. sirloin filet
1/2 tsp salt (1/4tsp per pound)
Husey's Heifer Dust
2 tbsp Beef Tallow or avocado oil
1/2 stick butter
Directions:
1. Take sirloin filet and add salt. Put in a vacuum bag and seal. Put in a sous vide set at 130 and let it go for 24 hours.
2. After 24 hours, remove from bag and make au jus if you want. Place sirloin on a rack and dry with paper towels.
3. Rub meat with beef tallow or some oil and season with Hussey's Heifer Dust and let sit a few minutes.
4. Preheat griddle to high in the middle and med high on the ends.
5. Put down some oil and put down the sirloin to sear the outside. Before flipping, rotate the meat and then flip. Sear all sides of the meat.
6. Turn the griddle to low and add a half stick of butter and baste the meat in the butter. Remove sirloin to a rack and take the butter left behind and pour over the meat. Let rest 5-10 minutes. Slice and enjoy
