Best 4 How To Cook Filet Mignon On The Grill Recipes

HOW TO GRILL FILET MIGNON ON A GAS GRILL

Steps:

• Start with quality filets. I like a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch thick that will be 6-8 ozs. each.
• One of the most important steps is resting the filets at room temperature. Get at least 10 minutes but better if you can do 30 minutes. This raises the temperature of the meat, making getting your desired internal temperature much easier.
• While the filets are resting, get your grill surface temperature about 450° (500° max). About medium-high on most gas grills. Please be sure the surface temperature is correct. This is the most common source of errors. See A Beginners Guide to Grill Temperature on a Gas Grill for details if you are not sure. Of course, clean and oil the grill.
• Give the filets a light coat of the seasoning of your choice. Do it just before grilling. I use a nice sprinkling of my 7:2:2 seasoning, but just a nice sprinkle of coarse salt and pepper will do.
• Place the filets on the grill. Close the lid.-grill on the first side for about 5 minutes (less for rare). Rotate half the way through for these nice crossed grill marks. Flip and grill until you reach the correct internal temperature for your taste. For me, I do another 7-8 minutes (with the rotation) and get 140°-145° internal temperature.
• Remove and rest for 5 minutes minimum. A light foil tent is a good idea here. Remember, the internal temperature will rise a few degrees during the rest.

EASY GRILLED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the grill to high heat.
• Combine the salt and black pepper in a bowl and rub onto both sides of the steaks.
• Oil the grill grates using a high smoke point oil, like grapeseed or avocado oil; add 1 tablespoon oil to a folded paper towel, and using a pair of tongs, rub the oiled towel over the grates.
• Place the steaks on the grill.
• Cook the steaks 5 to 6 minutes per side or until they almost reach the preferred doneness , up to 9 minutes per side for well done. (The meat will continue to cook as it rests.)
• Remove from the grill and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes under foil.
• Plate with your favorite sides and a sauce or butter and enjoy.

HOW TO GRILL A PERFECT FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Heat grill. Grill filets mignons for 3 to 5 minutes per side, which will cook them to medium or medium-rare doneness. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
• NOTE: One key point to remember when cooking filet mignon, whether you broil, roast, grill or pan fry it, is to use high heat in the process. A second key point is not to cook it too long; filet mignon is particularly susceptible to drying out as it cooks. Connoisseurs will tell you that filets mignons can only be properly appreciated medium-rare or even rare. But if you really can't stand the thought of eating steak that pink, feel free to cook longer. Again, start with high heat so as to minimize the time needed to reach your preferred state of doneness.
• By the way, a red wine such as cabernet sauvignon or burgundy makes a great accompaniment to filet mignon.

HOW TO COOK FILET MIGNON RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• On a cutting board, pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels and let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
• Generously season all sides of the filet mignon with salt and pepper.
• Heat a medium, oven-safe stainless steel or cast iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Add the grapeseed oil.
• Once the oil beings to smoke, add the filet mignon to the pan. Cook without moving for 2-3 minutes, until a crust has formed.
• Use tongs to flip the steak over, then add the butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan.
• Tilt the pan and spoon the butter continuously over the steak for 2-3 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to the oven for 7 minutes for a medium rare steak.
• Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• Enjoy!
