Method

Preparation

1

Season the Steaks

Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

2

Optional Marinade

If using the optional marinade, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and thyme in a bowl. Place the seasoned steaks in a resealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Grilling

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are well-lit and ashy.

4

Grill the Steaks

Remove the steaks from the marinade (if used) and let any excess drip off. Place the steaks on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a nice sear.

5

Flip and Cook

Flip the steaks and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.

6

Rest the Steaks

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
