How to Cook Filet Mignon on the Grill

Filet mignon is extremely tender and requires careful grilling for ultimate flavor. How to cook your tenderloin steak on the grill depends on your preferred doneness. Do you like your steak rare, medium, well or somewhere in between? The first step is to season the filet mignon. Salt and pepper will not dry out the steak if seasoned just prior to grilling. Place filet mignon steak on a hot grill and sear both sides. Remove from the high heat and allow to cook to your desired temperature.

Rare = 125° F or 52° C
Medium-Rare = 135° F or 57° C
Medium = 145° F or 63° C
Medium-Well = 150° F or 66° C
Well Done = 160° F or 71° C

Cooked two filets tonight following your instructions and it was the best meal I've made for my wife in a long time. I tend to overcook things and my wife was so pleased with the medium rare temp. Thanks for the advice, brother. Cheers!

So the most important thing I learned here is that grill season doesnt end in the winter. You can just set up your webber in a kitchen.

What a Got the charcoal grill indoors. Mad love!

Dude! I cooked filets tonight on my Weber just the way you described. I have to say, I cooked a hell of a nice Fathers Day dinner. (a day ahead) I can't believe how well the steaks cooked, and were done at the correct wellness. We did medium rare and everybody couldn't believe I got it right for a change. Thank you for your knowledge and help! Happy Fathers Day to you!

I really admire the knowledge and techniques of this chef. He explains what he's doing very well. Thanks.

[darrylodger]

Thanks the technique - work perfectly. Did 1 1/2 to medium rare in 5 minute side one and 6 minute side 2 on gas grill. The grillage on the steaks was near perfect. Also used butter rather than olive oil.

Would have liked to see a cut in the center. Don't get me wrong it looks good and I'd definitely eat it but watching a 4 minute video on how to cook a steak perfectly and there is no showing of how well it was cooked.

[richardsmith]

I followed your directions today on 4 12 ounce filets and they turned out PERFECT !! Everyone raved including myself as the last few times they had not been the perfect doneness. I cooked all to a medium well and your directions were great. Thanks again as I have your video book marked for quick reference now.

This my fav recipe, simple and lift up the taste to another level. Better than using sauce

[thunderhorse]

Same here, first time grilling filets and nailed it thanks to you. Family absolutely loved em and they thank you as well!!!!

[strine]

Why did you not give an approximate time for checking the steaks before turning 90 degrees. That would have been real helpful.

[antoniobaskerville]

Great Video! Great Technique! Great Steaks! I look forward to trying this Method! On my webber grill.

[larryparks]

Just used your advice. The wife said it was perfect. Thx.

[adamjordan]

This was my first time ever cooking steak and it turned out amazing! Thank you so much!

[dr.alanhimmel]

First step: Never watch a video like this when you are hungry. Now I'm off to buy a filet mignon and I'll give it a try. I'm not a big garlic fan, so this looks perfect with just salt and pepper.

[Vesper]

Everything here is by the book. Now, imagine using lump charcoal instead. The sear will be even better 🔥🔥🔥

[Lionforaday]

I'm amending this comment as I watched the video several times and missed where the steaks were flipped. This is what happens when you have too much going on - in the kitchen, on the grill, and on the flatscreen. Halfway through the process, a freak thunderstorm erupted, and I'm quite sure that contributed to my confusion; in any case, I apologize for my frustration as this was a very good instructional video!

Despite my chaotic attempts, the steaks turned out great - the 90-degree turn is something I'd never have thought of. Not sure if you have a video on this topic already, but if not, I'd love to see one on how to coordinate grilling a variety of things together (for eg. chicken and steak and potatoes) so they're ready the same evening, lol. I think this is one of the key things that separates us novices from the pro's!

[kalashnikov]

I love you bro! I aced them steaks your way.

[sergioalfonsodiasvaldez]

Can someone help me? How long approximately on side 1 before 90 degree rotation? And then approximately how long on each side? Thanks so much!

[etherlords]

To get the grill marks, clean/shine the grill, oil the spokes high, then put the meat.
