grillin filet mignon?

[kibskix]

We bought some filets at the store and we're gonna make em tonight.
We plan on grilling 'em, does anyone have any advice on seasoning/method/whatever? I've never cooked this stuff before.
DH would eat it still bleeding, but I prefer mine dead and done. a LITTLE pink I can deal with, but i'm a wuss that way.
Thanks!

When I make Filet Mignon I season it with seasoned salt but I've also used garlic salt and even soaked them all night in a marinade.

Such a great tender cut of beef I grill it straight up and ienjoy it natural YUMMY flavor and tenderness..

It is not a cut of beef that needs any prep-- so I take advantage!!!

chef boy says wrap the sides with raw bacon (secure with toothpicks) then grill the filets (season first) med rare is the best doneness due to the tender cut of the meat

Hotel Butter: garlic butter and seasoning salt cut into cubes when hardened. Take the filet off the grill and add a pat of cubed hotel butter on top of each filet then serve

I agree with Starmaker. Yummy!

just be careful as the fat on the bacon will case flareups and you might end up with a more charred filet than you want.


I'd cook on a very hot grill, with just cracked black pepper. I'm with BJS, it's such a nice cut of meat I don't think it needs anything.
