Sounds yummy!
You may not be Diamond Jim, but your recipes sparkle!
I am so sappy...


I can see this happening on my grill in the near future. I have learned the BEST way to get filets is to ask the butcher to cut them. It does not cost any more (sometimes it is even cheaper if you smile nice) and you get the thickness you want!


Oh God, yes!
