Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Filet Mignon

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and minced fresh rosemary. Rub the mixture all over the filet mignon to ensure it is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, approximately 450°F (232°C). This will ensure a good sear on the steak.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Grill Grates

    Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent the steak from sticking.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the Filet Mignon

    Place the seasoned filet mignon on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving it.

  2. 5

    Flip the Steak

    Using tongs, flip the filet mignon carefully and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.

  3. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your preference, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    After resting, slice the filet mignon against the grain and serve it with your favorite sides or sauces.
