A Note on Seasoning a Filet Mignon on the Grill
A good piece of beef doesn’t really need that much seasoning. This is true. We promise the taste of our 100% grass fed & finished steak is mind-blowing with just some good ol’ oil and salt. No pepper, no crazy amounts of spices. However, if you’d got a good rub you want to use, by all means, use it! But if you are low on seasonings, this is not a problem — a nice helping of salt will add to the delicious char from a grill. Here is our foolproof method for grilling the perfect filet mignon below.

Step:1
A huge part of grilling is the prep and the clean-up for your gas or charcoal grill. Watch these videos below to learn how to maintain your grills before you get started.
Step 2:
Heat your grill to high, around 350°F — 400°F.
Step 3:
Open the steaks and pat them dry with a paper towel. You want a dry steak to get that great sear.
Step 4:
Season liberally with salt on both sides.
Step: 5
Oil both sides with high heat oil and oil grates to prevent steaks from sticking.
Step 6:
Place the steaks on the grill and cook them until they are golden brown and slightly charred.
Step 7:
Flip once, and then rotate 30 degrees to get perfect grill marks.
Step 8:
Be sure to use a food thermometer (a digital one if you can) and check all sides for doneness.
Here is our doneness temperature chart:
- Rare: 95–105 degrees
- Medium Rare: 105–115 degrees
- Medium: 125–135 degrees
