1. How long do you grill filet mignon?

How to Grill Filet Mignon

2. For a 1½-inch cut, grill 15 to 19 minutes for medium-rare (145°F) or 18 to 23 minutes for medium (160°F).

2. What temperature should I grill filet mignon?

Grill Times & Temperatures for Steak

Steak	Grill Time & Temperature
Filet Mignon (1 inch thick)	Medium Rare: Grill 4 minutes per side or to 140°F internal temperature Medium: Grill 7 minutes per side or to 155°F internal temperature

3. What should I put on filet mignon before grilling?

Add a little olive oil to your grill racks as your grill comes to temperature to prevent your filets from sticking. Right before you place your steaks on the grill, add your choice seasoning. Salt and pepper are good choices, but our Chicago Steak Seasoning can give your filets just the right flavor boost!

4. Should you marinate a filet mignon?

Marinades are great on leaner cuts that could use a little extra moisture, or tougher cuts that need tenderizing. You would not want to marinate prime cuts like filet mignon or rib eye, especially premium aged beef that is already delectably flavorful and tender.

5. How do you know a filet mignon is done?

Medium – look for a temperature between 140 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Medium well – for steaks at this doneness, the temperature clocks in between 150 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit. Well done – for a filet mignon that has no signs of pink left, the temperature reading comes in at 160 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
