Filet Mignon
Recipe adapted from Delish.
INGREDIENTS
FILET MIGNON
- Filet mignon steak, 1 ½ inches thick
- Lightly drizzle with olive oil (optional)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
PREPARATION
- Heat the grill to (500 degrees), and scrub it with a wire brush if it's dirty. Once it's clean, spray it with a little oil to keep the filet from sticking to the grill.
- Filet mignon needs to be grilled (that is, seared) at a high temperature. Using a pair of tongs, place the steak on the grill (it must be hot enough to make it sizzle right off) over high heat and close the lid.
- Cook it twice on each side, turning the steak three times total. This process creates grill marks on each side
- Once the meat is pulled from the grill, let it rest for ten minutes before serving. While the meat rests, the internal temperature typically rises an additional ten degrees.
