Grilled Filet Mignon Recipe

Our Grilled Filet Mignon Recipe from Beryl’s husband Mike. Mike’s in charge of grilling and steak cooking around here.

Petite Filet Mignon is a French word to describe a small choice cut of beef  taken from the small end section of tenderloin of a steer or heifer.  The tenderloin runs along either side of the spine.  The filet is considered the tenderest of meats and therefore quite a bit more expensive than other cuts.

Filet Mignon is certainly wonderful and tasty, but another favorite of ours is the Porterhouse steak cut.  The Porterhouse cut has a sirloin half and a generous filet tenderloin half still attached with the bone.

So, for Valentine’s weekend, we grilled up four Petite Filet Mignons and had a feast.

Prep Time:  30 minutes
Serves: 4

Grilled Filet Mignon Recipe Ingredients

Grilled Filet Mignon Recipe Cooking Directions

(See our Grilling Tips video for best grilling practices.)

Soak a handful of wood chips in a bowl of water  or 30 minutes.

Prepare your grill and charcoal.

Spray the grill with canola oil spray.

Season the Filet Mignons with Tony’s, sea salt, and garlic powder.  Not too much.

Place the meat on the grill.

Grill covered for 9 minutes.  Flip the meat and grill another 9 minutes. This is about medium.

Remove meat to a platter add a pat of butter to each. Let sit 5 minutes and serve with your favorite side items like baked potatoes or twice baked potatoes and fresh asparagus.
