Easy Grilled Filet Mignon

🍳 Method

  1. Bring steaks to room temperature for 30–60 minutes.
  2. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat grill to high heat (450–500°F / 230–260°C). Oil the grates.
  4. Grill steaks:
    • Place on grill and cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side.
    • Rotate 90° halfway through for grill marks.
    • Flip and cook another 4–5 minutes for medium-rare.
  5. Check doneness with a meat thermometer:
    • Rare: 120–125°F (49–52°C)
    • Medium-rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C)
    • Medium: 140–145°F (60–63°C)
  6. Rest steaks for 5–10 minutes under foil before serving.
  7. Top with garlic butter or serve with your favorite sauce.

This method gives you a crusty exterior and a melt-in-your-mouth center. Want a bacon-wrapped version or wine reduction sauce to pair? I’ve got gourmet upgrades!
