Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 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.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F (232°C).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
