Anyone know how to like.. cook or something?

[Got Gear?]

Well, once again I opened my big fat mouth and told the new GF that I'd cook dinner on Valentines day.

Now she's expecting a fancy romantic dinner and the last time I got an urge for fancy food I added chopped up hot dog weiners to my Mac & Cheese!

I was scopeing out the grocery store the other day and they have filet mignon (is that how you spell it?) that already partially prepared.... well, it's got the piece of bacon wrapped around the outside anyway. So I was thinking of cooking that, and then adding a baked potatoe and some veggies to the mix.

The veggies and baked potatoe I can handle. But I've never cooked Filet Mignon before.

So here's my questions:
1) What's the best way to cook it? Oven, fry or BBQ? Should I seer it first?

2) Should I marinate it? If so, what would you reccomend for a marinate and how long should it soak for?


THANKS EVERYONE!!

Sweet thanks guys!

Seems like everyone thinks BBQ is the best method of cooking.

I'm guessing slopping a bunch of BBQ sauce over it isn't a good idea.

So.. do you guys think I should seer the meat first or just chuck it on the grill?

I love fillet mignon cooked over the open fire or bbq!! We always marinate it and it turns out AWESOME!!

Alright GG...this is what you do....

1. Pick up some Oliviari alfredo pasta and sauce ( or pasta of your choice)
2. A bag of iceberg lettuce and cucumber dressing
3. A bottle of wine
4. Two long stem candles and a some tea lights
5. A massage bar from the body shop

So the pasta takes only a couple of minutes and as it's in the boiling water you can mix the salad, light the candles and pour a couple of glasses of wine. In 15min you're all set to have a nice dinner for under 30 dollars.

The massage bar is the desert...so enjoy.
