💡 Pro Tips for Truffle Success

  • Thermometer = truth 📏 – Pull at 125 °F / 52 °C for perfect medium-rare.

  • Herb remix 🌿 – Swap basil for rosemary or thyme for earthier vibes.

  • Cast-iron backup 🔔 – No grill? Use a ripping-hot skillet—just vent the kitchen.

  • Reverse-sear hack 🔄 – For steaks thicker than 3″, smoke low at 225 °F to 115 °F internal, then sear hot.

🚀 Why These Filets Are Next-Level

King-Cut filets already scream indulgence, but the one-two punch of white truffle oil and homemade truffle butter rockets them into luxury orbit. Expect a crust that snaps, a fork-tender center, and flavor that pairs perfectly with a bold cab or smoky bourbon.
