How to Grill Filet Mignon 101 Cooking For Two

WEBOct 31, 2023 · 1. Rest the filets to room temperature if you have time. 2. Preheat the grill to a surface temperature of about 450°—clean and oil …

1. Start with quality filets. I like a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch thick that will be 6-8 ozs. each.
2. One of the most important steps is resting the filets at room temperature for 30 or so minutes. This raises the temperature of the meat making getting your desired internal temperature much easier.
3. While the filets are resting, get your grill surface temperature about 450° (500° max). Just over medium for me but more medium high on lesser grills. Please be sure the surface temperature is correct. This is the most common souce 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.
4. 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.
