1
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Rub the steak with olive oil, then generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.

3
Grill the Filet Mignon
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). Once hot, place the filet mignon on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
4
Flip the Steak
Using tongs, flip the filet mignon and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to achieve your desired doneness.

5
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your preference, remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
6
Serve
Slice the filet mignon against the grain and serve with your choice of sides such as asparagus, mashed potatoes, or grilled vegetables.
