Ingredients

Steak

  • 24 oz Filet Mignon steak 4 Steaks - 6 oz each

Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Remove steak from refrigerator and allow to warm at room temperature on kitchen counter for 30-60 minutes.
  • Season steak on ALL sides with dry ingredients. Don't over season. Due to EVERY side being covered in seasoning, a little dusting of seasoning will be best.
  • Pre-heat grill to 400-450°F and clean the grill with a brush and raw onion if desired.
  • Place the steak on grill grate over direct heat, close grill lid, and cook for 6 minutes. Flip the steak and cook another 4-6 minutes on the other side with the lid closed.
  • Check the internal temperature of the steak with a meat thermometer and continue cooking until the steak reaches 5-10°F LESS than your finished desired temperature. I recommend Medium Rare for filet mignon.
  • Check my image in the post above for finished temperatures to desired steak doneness.
  • Remove the steak from the grill 10°F LESS than your finished temp and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Did you make this recipe?! If so, please leave a comment and rating. Thank you!

Notes

  • Clean the grill with a raw onion cut in half to prevent past grilled residue from sticking to the steak.
  • Check propane levels before starting grilling if using a propane grill so you don't run out. I hate when that happens...
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to tell when the steak is finished cooking. Cook to temperature, NOT a specific time.
  • Allow to rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat before serving.
