Steps:
- Start with quality filets. I like a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch thick that will be 6-8 ozs. each.
- One of the most important steps is resting the filets at room temperature. Get at least 10 minutes but better if you can do 30 minutes. This raises the temperature of the meat, making getting your desired internal temperature much easier.
- While the filets are resting, get your grill surface temperature about 450° (500° max). About medium-high on most gas grills. Please be sure the surface temperature is correct. This is the most common source of errors. See A Beginners Guide to Grill Temperature on a Gas Grill for details if you are not sure. Of course, clean and oil the grill.
- Give the filets a light coat of the seasoning of your choice. Do it just before grilling. I use a nice sprinkling of my 7:2:2 seasoning, but just a nice sprinkle of coarse salt and pepper will do.
- Place the filets on the grill. Close the lid.-grill on the first side for about 5 minutes (less for rare). Rotate half the way through for these nice crossed grill marks. Flip and grill until you reach the correct internal temperature for your taste. For me, I do another 7-8 minutes (with the rotation) and get 140°-145° internal temperature.
- Remove and rest for 5 minutes minimum. A light foil tent is a good idea here. Remember, the internal temperature will rise a few degrees during the rest.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality filet mignon steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
- Season the steaks liberally: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the steaks on all sides. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
- Let the steaks come to room temperature before cooking: This will help them cook evenly. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you plan to cook them.
- Sear the steaks over high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steaks while keeping them juicy on the inside. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned.
- Reduce the heat and continue to cook the steaks: Once the steaks are seared, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Let the steaks rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steaks, making them more tender and flavorful. Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
