A simple, high-quality grilled filet mignon that lets the natural flavor of the beef shine. Light seasoning and a hot grill are all you need for a tender, restaurant-quality steak at home.

Servings: 2-4 servings

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2-4 filet mignon steaks

• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

• Optional: fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme)

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to high heat (450-500°F).

2. Pat steaks dry and rub lightly with olive oil.

3. Season evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.

4. Place steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

5. Optional: add herbs to the grill or baste lightly with butter during the last minute.

6. Remove from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

• For best results, use a meat thermometer (130-135°F for medium-rare).

• Letting the steak rest is key to keeping it juicy and tender.

• Simple seasoning works best. Quality beef doesn’t need much more.
