Grilled Filet Mignon Steak Recipe

This is my recipe for Grilling Filet Mignon Steak on the Big Green Egg. For this recipe I stopped by my new, local butcher shop and asked the owner to hand cut me a couple 12oz filets. If you’re local and haven’t visited this place, you need to check it out. Grilled Filet Mignon Steak This recipe is about keeping the seasoning simple and adding flavor on the back end by melting steak butter over the top. Grilled Filet Mignon Steak Here’s the recipe for the steak butter: – 2 Sticks of Butter room temperature – 4-5 Cloves Roasted Garlic smashed – 1 Tablespoon Shallot (minced) – 1 teaspoon fresh Thyme chopped fine – 1 teaspoon fresh Sage chopped fine – 1 teaspoon fresh Rosemary chopped fine – 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt and – 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper Place the butter in a mixing bowl and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, & pepper. Use a fork to incorporate the ingredients and spoon the mixture into a small bowl packed tightly. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. For Cooking the Grilled Filet Mignon Steak: Drizzle the Filets with Olive Oil and rub on all sides. Sprinkle a pinch of course Kosher Salt and Cracked Black Pepper over the olive oil and let the steaks sit out for a few minutes while you build a fire. In the Big Green Egg I use a bed of Lump charcoal and set the vents wide open. These grills can do temps upwards of 700 degrees. I’m talking screaming hot here, so be careful. This cook is all about searing the outside of the steak fast and then shutting the cooker down so the temp drops to finish off the inside of the steak. And for steaks, you have to have a set of GrillGrates (check these GrillGates out here >>) for your grill to get those professional grill marks. Grilled Filet Mignon Steak Once the temperature gauge hits 650 degrees it’s time to start grilling. With any ceramic grill crack the lid about 1” and wait for a couple seconds before opening. Trust me the heat will take all of the hair off your arm if you’re not careful. Place the Filets on the GrillGrates  and close the lid. Set a timer for 1 minute then rotate the steaks a quarter turn. After another minute, carefully open the lid and flip the steaks over. Set the timer for 1 minute and repeat the process. Total cook time for this portion is 4 minutes. Immediately close all vents on the cooker after the first 4 minutes and set the timer for 3 ½ minutes. You should see the grill temperature gradually start to drop once air is cut off. Grilled Filet Mignon Steak When there’s about 1 ½ minutes left on the timer, Place a heaping Tablespoon of Steak Butter on top of each filet. I like to keep the butter really cold in the refrigerator before placing it on the steaks so it doesn’t immediately run off. Grilled Filet Mignon Steak When the final 3 ½ minutes is up, the Grilled Filet Mignon Steak will be right at medium rare. If you like your steak a little more or less done just adjust the time a touch. Grilled Filet Mignon Steak As always you need to give the steaks a rest for 5-10 minutes. At this point they’re ready to serve, and I guarantee you they will be as good or better than any steak you’ve had at a fancy restaurant.

    Hi Malcolm,

    I do not have a Big Green Egg. However, I do have a gas grill that will get over 650 degrees. Would you do any of this cook differently on the gas grill versus the Big Green Egg? Love your videos and recipes, keep it up! Thanks!

  2. Pablo says:

    Hey
    I was wondering where did you buy that grill grate that you are using. I’m in Ottawa Canada and did not see that option on BGE Canadian site. I have large one for few years now and love it
    Thanks
    Ps. That was excellent, I’ve tried

    It’s a kick ass recipe with perfect timing Malcom. Just cooked two tonight and loved them. MiniMax Egg with griddle.

  4. Ben Plexico says:

    I like the look of the steak. Almost looks like you pitsburged them. Have you got the egg cast grill fir this, but use the grillgrate?

    • Malcom Reed says:

      I don’t like the cast iron grates – they are heavy and rust too easily. The GrillGrates are the way to go

      • Kristin McP says:

        I just ordered the grill grate per your recommendation and cannot wait to use it! I sure hope my steaks turn out well without it in the meantime! Super happy to find your site!

    Malcom.
    You are fast becoming a legend in my house. I am using lockdown to grill daily and we watch your videos. My son can impersonate you now too. We are in Germany. Love all your videos and keep up the great work.
    Ps love the hip swivel when you bit into the steak

  7. Frank says:

    Malcom, will be trying this recipe tonight. 2 questions.
    1. Do I need an extra grill grate or is the standard one with the green egg ok?
    2. How much longer would you leave them on for them to be medium abs not medium rare?
    Thanks!
