Re: How to season a steak?

James Egan said...

I bought two 8oz Black Angus fillet Mignon steaks for my wife and I on
Valentines day from the local Giant supermarket. I seasoned the steaks
with our house seasonings which consists of garlic powder, onion powder,
pepper, and salt. Since it's cold where we're at, I cooked them in one
of
those frying pans with the serrated bottoms. I cooked them in a couple
of
pats of butter, until they were medium. They were tender, but I thought
the flavor was somewhat lacking. I know they will never compare to some
of the aged steaks I get at some of my favorite restaurants. But what
can
be done to make a supermarket steak more flavorful? I know some
restaurants use a combination of spices to enhance the flavor.

Have you ever just tried a filet mignon without seasoning??? You know, get
a taste of the meat?
