Grilled Filet Mignon with Mint and Parsley
As summer and grilling season draws to a close, I thought I would see it out in style with one of the best cuts of beef. Today also happens to be National Filet Mignon day, so there’s no better way to celebrate.
Chef tips
This fine cut of beef doesn’t need a lot of help in the flavor department. I didn’t over season, marinate or anything to take away from the great quality of the meat. There’s a couple of tips to make these steaks shine.
Firstly, leave them out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. If the meat was cold it would tighten up from the temperature change, kind of like we would do. This you can do with all meat. Secondly, just a good coating of salt and freshly ground black pepper. My filets were a good 2 inches thick, so I gave them a good coating on each side, since theres a lot of meat to season.

Grilled Filet Mignon with Mint and Parsley
Grilled filet mignon with mint and parsley. A perfectly grilled lean cut of beef is simply seasoned, grilled and served with a sauce of fresh herbs, mint and parsley.
Ingredients
- 2 each, 6 ounce (170 grams) filet mignon
- 1 cup (handful) large mint leaves
- ¾ cup (a handful) fresh flat leaf parsley
- ¼ cup (60 ml) white wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup (120 ml) olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Remove the filets from the fridge and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill on high.
- Add mint and parsley, vinegar, salt and pepper to a food processor. Pulse until the herbs are chopped. With the food processor running, drizzle in the olive oil until well blended. Set aside.
- Season the filets liberally on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Grill the filets on high on each side until they have a nice char. Use a meat thermometer to cook to desired temperature. 130-135°F/55-58°C for medium rare, 140-145 °F/60-63°C for medium, 150-155°F/65-68°C for medium well.
- Remove the filets from the grill and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Once they have rested, slice thin and spoon over the mint and parsley.
