Grilling or Broiling the Filet
Place the seasoned filet mignon on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

Rest the Filet
Once cooked, remove the filet from the grill or broiler and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy filet.
