    Hi, how are you? My name is Hector Playuk, the Executive Chef for Jacks Bar & Restaurant, Washington DC. Today, I am going to show you how to make Filet Mignon Rossini style and I am going to show you how I pick the right kind of meat for this dish. Very important, the kind of meat has to be I use Certified Black Angus Meat. Certified gives me guarantee of the kind of the meat. I like to select the meat with the texture and make sure the color red, very important when the color is red is nice kind of meat. Also if you are at home, its very important if you do a meal Rossini style for the family. I cut the meat between 7-8 ounces but at home you can use 6 ounces, 6 and a half ounces to get it for a big family. Make sure the color is red, completely red. It means the kind of meat is very good. Make sure you use a red cutting board also. This is the way I select the meat to do the Filet Mignon Rossini Style. Lets start it.
