1
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the filet mignon dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped fresh rosemary.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C). If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed.
4
Grill the Filet Mignon
Place the seasoned filet mignon on the grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it to achieve a good sear.
5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Flip the filet mignon and continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time if you prefer it more or less done.
6
Check Internal Temperature
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
7
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
