Easy Step‑by‑Step Filet Mignon Grilling Instructions
Step 1: Pre‑Heat Your Grill
Finish your steak preliminary preparation work, then preheat your grill at 800°C for 5 full minutes to get the ideal high‑heat cooking environment.
Step 2: Prep And Roast Your Side Veggies
Clean your bell peppers and cherry tomatoes, then lay them on the bottom grill tray. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, add sea‑salt and black pepper and coat evenly. Set the tray to your lowest grill rack for roasting. The suggested vegetable cook‑time runs 10‑12 minutes.
Step 3: Get The Filet Mignon Ready For Grilling
Secure your steak with kitchen twine. Insert a meat thermometer to track internal core temperature, and place the filet onto rack level 4, your grill’s medium‑heat cooking zone.
Step 4: Sear Steak For Medium Doneness
Grill every side of your thick filet mignon for 5 minutes. Keep cooking until the steak’s inner temperature hits 52°C and a rich, crispy brown sear crust develops for perfect medium doneness.
Step 5: Rest The Steak
Take your cooked‑through filet mignon off the grill. Let the meat rest 5 minutes so juices settle inside before slicing. Skipping the resting stage will lead to runny, dry‑tasting steak.
Step 6: Assemble Your Complete Meal
Take your caramelized roasted vegetables out of the grill, re‑season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange your sliced filet mignon alongside the veggies on your plate and enjoy your homemade gourmet dinner.
