Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub each filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle fresh rosemary on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Prepare a charcoal grill and heat it until the coals are glowing red and covered with white ash.

  4. 4

    Grill the Filets

    Place the filet mignon on the grill over direct heat and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

  5. 5

    Add Butter

    During the last minute of cooking, add a tablespoon of butter on top of each filet mignon to enhance flavor and juiciness.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
