The Idea: Infusing Flavor

Inspired by a previous steak au poivre experience, I decided to try a new approach: infusing the filet mignon with flavor instead of just applying a dry rub. This method promises to deliver a more intense and evenly distributed flavor throughout the meat.

The infusion mixture includes garlic-infused oil, soy sauce, peppercorns (finely ground), fresh parsley, and chili-infused oil. This potent blend is loaded into a meat injector for easy application.

The process involves injecting the carefully prepared mixture into the filet mignon. It's crucial to thoroughly clean the injector between injections to maintain the consistency of the flavor infusion.
