1
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
2
Season the Meat
Rub each filet mignon with olive oil, then sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly on both sides.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).
4
Grill the Filet Mignon
Place the seasoned filet mignon on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a more well-done steak.
5
Add Butter and Rosemary (Optional)
In the last minute of cooking, add a tablespoon of butter and a sprig of rosemary on top of each steak for added flavor.

6
Rest the Steaks
Remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
7
Prepare Red Wine Sauce (Optional)
In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of red wine. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half, then pour over the rested filet mignon before serving.
