How do you properly handle frozen fillets to guarantee a delicious dinner for your table?

Start by thawing fillets in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours before cooking. Do not thaw it at room temperature!

After removing the fillets out of the fridge, let them sit for about 20-30 minutes on the counter top to chill. Chilled fillets will make juicy fillets.

Zaycon Fresh Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Fillets on the Grill

Set the grill to high heat (about 500degrees F)

Pat Kosher salt and pepper on both sides of the fillets. Generosity is the key as the steak will absorb the salt and leave tasty surface.

Rub a small amount of olive oil on both sides of the bacon-wrapped filet to prevent it from sticking to the grill and to keep the steaks moist and juicy.

While the grill is still hot, place the fillets on the grill to sear with a lid closed. After 3 minutes, flip it over to the other side for another 3 minutes. Continue turning the fillets until they are done to your liking. Use tongs, not a long fork.

Did You Know?

Turning your fillets often won’t harm them unless punctured in which case natural moisture will be lost. Turning it often will produce a nice consistent charred surface.

Are we there yet?

Never cut the steak to check if it’s done! Using an instant read meat thermometer get it off the grill once the temperature reaches 150-160 Degrees F.

When the meat is done, let it rest. Place it on a clean plate and lightly cover with foil for about 5 to 10 minutes. Resting will even the temperature. When cooking, natural juices are pushed-out towards the surface. By allowing fillets to rest, it will reclaim the juices.
