1
Prepare the Rice
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of basmati rice, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving.
2
Season the Filets
While the rice is cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Grill the Filets
Place the seasoned filets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
4
Serve
Place the grilled filets on plates alongside a serving of basmati rice. Offer house-made tzatziki or zhoug as a dipping sauce.
