Steps:
- For the steaks: Sprinkle both sides of the steak with lemon pepper, seasoned salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side over high heat, and then a further 3 to 5 minutes over lower heat. Brush with melted butter as they cook.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Start by crushing the peppercorns with a rolling pin in a zip-top bag and set them aside.
- Next, heat a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Crumble in the beef bouillon cube. Whisk to combine.

BEEF FILETS WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES
Says Cindie Haras of Boca Raton, Florida: "Here's a special, quick and easy, end-of-summer grilled entree...with no pots or pans to clean! Romaine lettuce leaves are a must for this recipe because they stand up to grilling. And basting with butter seals in the meat's juices and adds extra flavor."

Tips:
- To ensure the filet mignon is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
- Allow the filet mignon to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the meat to redistribute its juices, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the filet mignon in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan before adding the steak.
- For a more flavorful pepper sauce, use a variety of peppers, such as red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper.
- If you want a thicker pepper sauce, add a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour to the mixture and cook until thickened.
