Filet Mignon

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F to 500°F (232°C to 260°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Place the filet mignon on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches the desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
