1
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat, approximately 450°F (232°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4
Grill the Filet Mignon
Place the seasoned filet mignon on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, then flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust time according to your desired doneness.
5
Add Butter for Flavor
During the last minute of grilling, add a tablespoon of butter on top of each filet mignon to enhance flavor and juiciness.
6
Rest the Meat
After grilling, remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
7
Serve
Serve the filet mignon with your choice of seasonal vegetables on the side.
