On May 25, 1961, Kennedy addressed a joint session of Congress to announce his decision to go to the moon. He backed up this decision with remarkable financial commitments. In the immediate aftermath of his speech, NASAâs budget was increased by 89 percent, and by another 101 percent the following year.
A serving of filet mignon is typically 3 oz., so eating an 8-oz. serving, with 558 calories and nearly 41 g of fat, with 16 g being saturated, may be overdoing it. In addition, a diet that is too high in fat and calories can result in weight gain. Meat is an important source of iron, and 8 oz. of filet mignon contains just over 3 mg. The daily intake recommendation for iron is 8 mg per day for men and 18 mg daily for women. Iron aids in transporting oxygen through your blood and plays a role in cell growth.
Filet Mignon is expensive (often nearly $20/lb), but itâs so rich, you may be fully satisfied with just an 8 ounce cut; Take the filet out of the fridge about 45 minutes before youâre ready to cook it, and allow it to come to room temperature; Turn on your gas grill, or light your coals, to allow your grill to heat up. You want to start cooking with a very hot grill (over 500 degrees). About 15 minutes before your grill is ready, lightly oil the filet mignon and liberally season the steaks with salt and pepper. The best way to tell when to remove the filet is with an instant read meat thermometer. Youâd want about 130 for rareâ¦and youâd go all the way up to 160 for well done.
