I’m sure the answer has been posted before but…🙂 She likes her filet mignon medium rare to medium; I mine like rare to medium rare. I cook mine for 2 hrs at 130, finish in cast iron skillet. Perfection!! How do I get hers to her liking and be able to eat at the same time. ---

Cook hers, lower the temp, leave hers in the bath, cook yours ---

Makes sense. Would it work to put both in at same time & temp, take mine out and then raise temp for her’s & cook another hour? ---

You could do it that way, but while hers is coming up to her desired doneness, yours will be cooling down ---

Your post title gives you your solution—cook both to “medium rare”. ---

Work out the time required for yours, subtract it from the time to do hers and just add yours in at room temp after that time has elapsed. Easy. ---
