Steps:
- Filet Mignon is often considered the greatest steak cut of them all. It's unmatched in tenderness. Has a somewhat mild flavor, compared to other cuts, and when cooked right, it nearly guaranteed to please. I'll frequently cook my filet in the oven, but once it gets warm enough, it's time to bring the Filets out to the Grill. Some of the best filet mignon I've ever had, has been seared quickly on super-hot grill over direct flames, slathered with a little compound butter, and served up hot. When grilled, filet picks up some added flavor from the smoke of the grill, and you can't beat the charred outside crust that open flames give you. But, to cook the perfect grilled Filet Mignon, there are a few tips and tricks that you need to know to make sure your steak doesn't come out overcooked and dry. There aren't many, and they aren't hard to learn, but put them to practice, If you want your steak to have: A dark golden brown crust on the outside that packs a ton of salty flavor and a great texture A center that is perfectly cooked to your preference - I like medium rare! A very tender, and very juicy, texture when you bite into it Follow the tips below, and I'm sure yours will hit on every point! How to Grill a Perfect Filet Mignon Buying the right filet mignon is important. Ideally find a prime grade, although choice cuts can still work very well. Get a steak that is 2 inches thick (or more), with as much internal fat (marbling) as possible Filet Mignon is expensive (often nearly $20/lb), but it's so rich, you may be fully satisfied with just an 8 ounce cut Take the filet out of the fridge about 45 minutes before you're ready to cook it, and allow it to come to room temperature Turn on your gas grill, or light your coals, to allow your grill to heat up. You want to start cooking with a very hot grill (over 500 degrees). About 15 minutes before your grill is ready, lightly oil the filet mignon and liberally season the steaks with salt and pepper. If you'd like to use other rubs or spices, that's fine; just note that some rubs may tend to burn a bit on the grill, so you may want to use slightly lower temperature Once the grill is ready, lay the steaks down on the grates (lay them down diagonally to get the cool looking grill marks), close the grill lid, and leave them alone for at least 3 minutes After 3 minutes, open the grill, and turn the filet mignon over; the cooked side should be nicely browned, with grill marks from the grate Once turned over, allow the filets' second side to sear for another 3 minutes to sear At this point, a 2 inch filet, should be rare, and you have to figure out when to stop cooking the steak...right then, or continue to cook through to medium or well done The best way to tell when to remove the filet is with an instant read meat thermometer. You'd want about 130 for rare...and you'd go all the way up to 160 for well done. The time it takes to get there, will depend on the heat of your grill and the thickness of the steak. My general rule of thumb, is at this stage, about 3 minutes will move the filet up 10 - 15 degrees. As the filet mignon continue to cook, you'll want to move them to a cooler part of the grill with the lid on; because the outside is already seared you don't want to burn them. Once cooked to your liking, remove the filets, and allow them to rest for at least 5 minutes While they rest, it would be a great time to make a quick sauce or slather them with some butter. Once rested, the filet mignon are ready to serve, along with your favorite steak sides! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Pour salad dressing into a zip lock bag. Place steaks inside with bacon, seal and marinate in refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
- Wrap bacon around each steak, securing with toothpick or butcher's twine.
- Grill steaks over hot coals about 8 minutes per side (5 minutes for rare. Baste with mixture of steak sauce and water. For perfect steaks, turn only once.
- I live in a loft -- no charcoal grill. I seared filets on my Wolfgang Puck counter top grill, lines and all. Then I placed filets in a heavy duty nonstick skillet in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Voila! Perfectly cooked medium steaks. I would think 8 minutes for medium rare and 6 for rare.

Steps:
- Heat grill. Grill filets mignons for 3 to 5 minutes per side, which will cook them to medium or medium-rare doneness. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
- NOTE: One key point to remember when cooking filet mignon, whether you broil, roast, grill or pan fry it, is to use high heat in the process. A second key point is not to cook it too long; filet mignon is particularly susceptible to drying out as it cooks. Connoisseurs will tell you that filets mignons can only be properly appreciated medium-rare or even rare. But if you really can't stand the thought of eating steak that pink, feel free to cook longer. Again, start with high heat so as to minimize the time needed to reach your preferred state of doneness.
- By the way, a red wine such as cabernet sauvignon or burgundy makes a great accompaniment to filet mignon.

- 1. Let steak come up to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 415°F. Pat steak dry with paper towels and season with kosher salt. Melt the butter with the oil in a cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat. When the foam from the butter subsides, add the steak to the hot pan. Sear until nicely browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side.
- 2. Carefully transfer the hot skillet to the oven and continue cooking until steak reaches your desired internal temperature (115–125°F for rare or 125–130°F for medium rare) and offers some resistance when poked, about 4–6 minutes longer. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Let rest 5–10 minutes and serve.

- Take your filets out of the refrigerator and pat dry with a paper towel. Season all sides with some salt and pepper and set aside.
- Prepare the cast iron over medium-high heat and add butter. Let melt and add in the thyme and rosemary. Once the melted butter starts to smoke, add in your filets.
- Depending on the temperature you want the inside to reach, you'll want to cook the steaks as close to the same amount of time on each side. For medium, you're looking at about 4-5 minutes on both sides. For rarer steaks, cut down the temperature 1 minute both sides and for well done steaks, you'll want to add 2 or more minutes depending on the thickness of the steak. Checking the temperature with a digital thermometer will be the easiest way to verify the doneness.
- To help caramelize and cook the steaks evenly, use a spoon and scoop up some of the butter and drizzle it on top of the steaks continuously as they're cooking. Slightly lighting the pan will help the butter pool in one spot to easily scoop the butter.
