1
Prepare the Steaks
Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steaks
Rub the steaks with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Optionally, add fresh rosemary for added flavor.
3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C).
4
Grill the Steaks
Place the steaks on the hot grill. For medium-rare, grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, adjusting time for your preferred doneness.
5
Add Butter
In the last minute of grilling, add butter on top of the steaks and close the grill lid to let it melt and flavor the meat.
6
Rest and Serve
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
