Meal No. 2925: Filet Mignon

The overstocked freezer lottery drawing that determined this past Monday night's supper produced a delightful choice: filet mignon! Since the whole point of the protein/dinner slips in a jar is to whittle down the oversupply of prepped and vacuum-sealed meats and leftovers, I'm highly dependent on the sous vide immersion circulator to pull off these meals. Although the much-admired Stella Parks (formerly of SeriousEats.com) snarkily asks, "Who doesn't love a bag of wet meat?" I'm of a different opinion: I appreciate the ease, convenience, and perfectly cooked results, along with minimal clean-up when I finish them with a good sear on the grill. Roasted broccoli and roasted spiced potatoes were the dependable sides for this delicious Labor Day meal.
