Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130°F to 135°F. Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness.

Rest the Meat
Remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
