Grilling Filet Mignon today

[Michael Spurling]

Hi all -

I'm going to grill some Filet's later this afternnon/evening.

I read some past forum topics about grilling steaks, etc. and adding layers of salt, letting the meat rise to room temp after 1 - 2 hours etc.

I took my filets out around 3:30 pm and added some course sea salt to the tops and bottoms of the filets I am grilling. ( 4 in Total )

I'm going to wait to grill them in about 90 mins to 2 hours.

I didn't add pepper yet - I was going to add a bit of peppercorn black pepper right on the meat about 5-10 mins. before I grill them.

Any other tips or thoughts about grilling filets?

Any other thoughts about when to add the pepper?

thanks everyone.

Michael

Filets IMO are best done very simply as they are real delicate and do not have a strong flavor. A touch of salt, pepper, and olive oil is all that is needed IMO. The meat is so good the only way you can ruin them IMO is to overcook them or add too much seasoning.
