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 to ensure even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. If using, finely chop the garlic and sprinkle it over the steak, and add the fresh rosemary on top.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F (232°C).
4
Grill the Steak
Place the seasoned filet mignon on the hot grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it to get a nice sear.
5
Flip and Cook
Carefully flip the steak using tongs and grill for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the time based on your preferred doneness.
6
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
