1
Prepare the Steak
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Meat
Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. If using, sprinkle fresh rosemary on top.
3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
4
Grill the Filet Mignon
Place the seasoned filet mignon on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time based on your preferred doneness (3-4 minutes for rare; 6-7 minutes for medium).
5
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
6
Serve
Slice and serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides and enjoy!
