Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking.

Season the Steak
Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to sear the meat.
- 4
Grill the Steak
Place the filet mignon on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.

Rest the Steak
Once done, remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
