Been grilling my whole life and I Followed your instructions exactly word for word and had an entire dinner party give me a standing ovation saying it was the best steak of their life! Thank you for improving my culinary skill set and the hero of the party!
Missed this comment, somehow. Thank you and glad the party went well.
thank you... :)
You didn’t get a standing ovation lmao
This guy has a ginormous house he doesn’t need the money from the video he just wants to help us! I appreciate it
Thank you.
That’s south Orange County California all the way!!!!!
Well this is actually a business that sells very high quality steaks and they do a good job too.
@@kenparker4022 San Fernando Valley, sorry. We were there.
I watch this video every time I cook Filet Mignon and they come out great. I just read in the comment that this man passed away. Rest in Peace sir.
Your comment is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Just tried this with prime filet mignon. Came out amazing! I followed your instructions, but added some time as it's 25 degrees outside. Thank you.
Glad our suggestion helped and thank you for your comment!
This Filet Mignon Guy is wearing New Balance dad shoes. He must be legit with his grilling.
We laugh every time we glance at this comment. Nice one, Mr. Adams.
Best comment by far and you know it’s true
@@BestFiletMignon so 3 minutes each side at 500 degrees?
@@Gierym No, 3 minutes, turn and go another 3 minutes (to create the grill marks). THEN, turn 'em over and repeat. 12 minutes total. Thanks for taking the time to write and ask.
You do understand that NOT cutting that steak in half on camera is blasphemy, right?
Yes, and you are on a long and distinguished list of contributors that made us aware of this oversight. Fear not, we've recited more than our share of Our Fathers to make up for this transgression and promise that we won't do it again in future videos.
LOL's ....
As much as he had that grill open there is no way it was cooked properly!
Exactly what I thought about not cutting it open to show us. . Such a steak tease!
I too came here to complain about not cutting the steak but it appears you've already heard enough about that!
Thanks for the instructions ! You made me look like a chef . They were so good!
Earl Kleckley Glad we were able to help!
Filet turned out perfect. Best steak I've ever had. thanks for the video!
Glad we were able to help and thank you for taking the time to provide positive feedback.
thx jay leno
And an opening monologue.
Oh my God. It's 2 a.m. amd that looks like the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
It is not a mirage. It is, in fact, the Best Filet Mignon you will ever taste. Guaranteed.
I love filet mignon. By far my favorite meat. Every time the occasion calls for filet mignon I turn to your video. Not over the top just simple and easy. Always looks awesome. Great job.
Thank you for the compliment, Biz. We appreciate it more than you know.
Great vid! My grill tops out at 400 degrees, so I just kept them on a little longer. Still came out amazing! Thanks!
Glad we were able to provide a little guidance. You did it, though. Thanks for your kind words.
Followed these instructions and it came out great! Thanks for the video.
Glad we were able to help!
Looking forward to applying these tips for grilling our filets this evening! I've been putting the steaks on the grill straight from the fridge...could explain a lot. And using foil afterwards. Thanks for the video!
Well, by now you've made your meal. Please let us know how everything turned out.
@@BestFiletMignon this time the filets were more tender! Unfortunately I undercooked my husband's steak (he likes medium well) and I love it bloody, mooing rare. So I had to get more cook time. But the tenderness was there, thank you!
@@lisac.brennen1832 Great to hear!
This was amazing. I've always put the salt on too early. Made a big difference.
Thank you for your comment and we're happy our tip helped you.
You should, at least 12 hrs before, dry brining.
This guys is a stud. Best filet video on here and he’s so easy to learn from. Keeps it simple yet explains the reasoning behind each technique. Need more videos on everything from this guy. A+
Thank you very much for the compliment. All of us at BestFiletMignon.com appreciate it more than you will ever know. Our dear friend, Chef Phil, passed away unexpectedly on May 7th.
BestFiletMignon so sorry to hear this. He was incredible. God bless him. I’ve subscribed and will stay tuned.
@@VS-xb7pz Your words mean a great deal to us. Thank you for taking a moment to share.
After watching this video and trying your method, my wife loved it. Now every time we grill steak I have to buy filet. Thanks alot. Lol
Happy wife? You're welcome!
I used your technique for my mother’s last Mother’s Day and she flipped that the way you shown us tastes substantially better than what she had at any restaurant or made herself. Thank you.
We're hoonored. Your Mother is deserving of a great meal, no doubt!
Thank you BestFiletMignon! I will try this for Christmas. I can tell you put time and effort in your videos and I appreciate the quality productions.
You are most welcome! Thank you for the compliment. Have a Merry Christmas and Bon Appetit!
I just made this for dinner tonight. I followed his exact instructions except for i had to leave a tad longer bc my grill topped out at 400. I used a meat thermometer along the way as well.
This was by far one of the best meals ive made. Restaurant quality. My husband loved it and he is a big meat eater and so it was a success.
Amazingly tender, juicy, and i even made the perfect diamond grill marks. I feel like i can actually cook! Thank u!
Glad it went well. Thank you for taking the time to write a nice message.
Glad we were able to make a small contribution to a great meal. Thank you for the compliment. Tell us more about your interest in organic chemistry, please. One of the partners has a background in biochemistry.
Thanks to this video, I have my filets dialed in. It has been incredibly delicious.
Thank you for the compliment! Glad they turned out great!
Tried this on my grill for my wife's birthday dinner she was so happy said that the steak taste better than any other place she's eatin she was in a wow mode lol thx for the tips now I share with others and they love it
Thank you for your kind comments. Glad we were able to make your wife's birthday just a little bit better.
I have never grilled before and made filet mignon with a Gorgonzola cheese sauce and this video was tremendously helpful and the end result was absolutely delectable. Perfectly described, and great instructions. Thank you!
I don't grill much. But I followed this to a T and this went perfectly! Thanks for the video.
+Justin Cheney Glad we were able to help!
So glad I found your channel! I grilled my first fillets last night, followed your steps to the letter, and they came out PERFECTLY!!!!
Thanks so much!!
Glad we were helpful. Thank you for your message.
Oh yeah, fill-et mig-non! I made a couple on the grille the other day and they were SO amazing. I paid $25 for two 6 oz filets and they were fairly fatty, but they tasted SO good. I used aluminum foil btw.
Nothing better! Thanks for sharing.
Great video. At six minutes per side what is the finishing temp? Med rare I'm assuming, it's a thick cut of meat so I can tricky.
I wish he had talked about the time on the grill for medium rare to medium done.
Love it! Great video. Literally hitting the kitchen right now.
Thank you for the compliment. We do not close the lid. No cold weather interference in Los Angeles.
Fantastic video. i have 6 filets in my freezer right now. Im going to use them for the July 4th weekend.
Freezing filet is a sin!!
What's your internal temperature when you remove them from the grill? 128?
This looked really good. Making this for my dad today for Fathers' Day. :D
Great video. Filet mignon came out delicious. Wifey loved it.
Gonna try this this weekend!
Your salt hack was on point. Thank you my friend. 😊
Thank you for the kind words. Hope you had a great Fourth.
This is a great video, with some great 'ideas'! Cooking, like investing and many other things is about IDEAS! We each need to learn enough to have our OWN ideas. Until that happens, we need to try the ideas of others to help us find the way! Good stuff, many thanks!
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I Followed your instructions. It came out amazing thank you!!!!!
Thank you for your kind words and we're glad you got great results.
you're welcome :)
I'm watching this 8:30am in the morning, I know what im grilling today! looks great....
Did this and it was phenomenal. Thank you!! Feel like a pro now.
Happy to help!
Great video but a question. After removing from the grill I've always been told to place the meat on a wire rack (covered) for 5 minutes or so vs directly on a plate or flat surface which is what you did around 4:38. Any thoughts pro or con or does it really not matter? Thanks!
Good question. Since heat rises, we're inclined to believe that as long as the steaks are covered the results of placing them on a wire rack or a plate would be identical.
I just made this and omg delicious, thank you
Outstanding presentation!
Thank you very much for the compliment! Glad you liked it!
I would have liked you to cut into the fillet to show the result of the cooking time. 'They looked nice and crusty on the outside. I like that.
Orlando Wheaton I was literally about to type the same thing. What’s the point of a video about cooking steak if you don’t show the inside?
I was assuming it turned out bad and they didn’t want to show they messed it up.
Yes, he really fucked that one up....That's all I was waiting for...Smh
@@mason4345 A dreadful oversight, we'll admit. It was our first go at making a grilling video. If it's any comfort, the crew that shot the video told us they'd never eaten better on set.
@@philipwood8776 Sorry, we missed this comment. Killing time while enduring the Bat Scratch Fever lock down allows us some time to review comments. Yep, we definitely dropped the ball by not cutting into it. We promise not to do it again.
Thank you! My filets turn out perfect every single time now.
Great to hear! Thank you for your feedback!
Came out bomb. Best filet mignon I've cooked
Before spraying the grill with the can veg oil check the ingredients. Some have butane or propane type propellants which should be avoided.
Thank you for the heads up.
Excellent presentation!!
Thank you for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed it.
Grilling outdoors will not be an issue, Mr. Matheson. The grill temperature will be more than hot enough. Thank you for your question.
First class video. Thank you.
Thank you, just like the '67 427 in your profile photo!
Bada bing, Bada good! great recipe. Just tried it and it was perfect. Thanks bro.
Right bada back at ya! Thank you, glad you liked it.
Wow. Finally. Just nailed this video. Bravo
Thank you for the compliment. Glad you liked it. Wish we could give your comment ten thumbs up!
Great video. Most complete information on cooking filet mignon! Might be a tad light on cooking time, but that's the only comment. Thanks!
Very much appreciate the compliment. Glad you liked it!
Going to try it right now. Hope it's as good ad yours look.
Let us know how they turn out, Mr. Copus.
I'm usually am a pan seared and oven guy with the filets but this is definitely worth a try very beautiful and tasty presentation.
Thank you for the kind words.
Neglected to ask you to please share your results once you give our method a try. Thanks again.
@@BestFiletMignon I actually did it that day I posted and it was incredible as amazing as the filet was with that smokey flavor and the perfect diamond marks my favorite part was the vinaigrette due to the fact that I will be incorporating that with many other dishes thank you what a treat.
@@master7quick62 Thanks for replying and glad it turned out well (or medium rare, actually)!
Handsome AND a great cook!
This is an awesome video, thank you
Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Parikh.
Chef,
Thank you for showing me how to make a wonderfully delicious, perfect filet mignon
on the grill. Easy steps, perfect timing, great result!!! Consider my self a good cook, but could not make it that good before. Thanks :)
Annamaria
Thank you for your kind words and we're glad we were able to help!
If the fillets are less than 10 oz. Do you adjust the cooking time and/or temp.?
Temperature remains the same but time is adjusted, yes. Better to err on the side of rare than serve a hockey puck. If you're grilling a petite 6 oz, for example, consider using 2 1/2 minutes as a guideline. Hope this is helpful to you.
This guy is the filet whisperer
Brilliant!
Distance from the flame doesn't matter. Temperature on the grill surface is the key. Since shooting this video, we have moved to infrared grilling for the increased temperature they provide. We consistently see 1000° which sears the meat and seals in the juices.
+BestFiletMignon so I cooked my filet when my grill got to 400 degrees and followed your instructions and it worked great. It took 15 minutes to get it to 400. Should I keep waiting to try and get it to 500? Seems like it will burn through all my propane quick.
+Buddy Buck If your steaks turned out great at 400, no need to wait until 500. No sense burning up all that propane for one meal.
That's kinda what I was thinking. Thanks BestFiletMignon ! Awesome video!!
+Buddy Buck Thank you!
On a gas grill, distance from the flame might not matter. On a charcoal grill, distance usually can't come into play, since most are fixed. But don't tell me that getting the meat closer to the coles, on say a Weber, wouldn't make a difference. There are two variables in cooking, the amount of heat that you are using and how coupled that is to what you are cooking... and when you say grill surface, are you referring to a cast iron grill grates at 1000° or 1000° at whatever the level of whatever the grill is made of? You're being somewhat cryptic, nonetheless I appreciate you're awesome videos...
From the video instructions, what degree of doneness did you attain on the two fillets? Time and thickness make a huge difference. Thanks for the video.
Those two turned out a flawless, pink, medium rare. We were there to taste them. Trust us, they were perfect. In fact, the BEST.
Hi..great looking steak...what was the internal temp of the steak when you removed it from the grill?
While we did not use a probe to take the temperature, our target doneness was medium rare. So, the internal temperature was probably between 130 and 135 degrees.
Thanks for this video. I followed it to a tee.... yum yum!
+Buddy Buck Glad we were able to help!
Did it. Killed it. Best filets ive ever had hands down.
Our favorite feedback. Thank you for the perfect Christmas gift.
Doing this tonight for Valentine's day. 2 concerns though. I've been taught to brush steak with a little extra virgin olive oil then season. I've also seen folks put a dab of butter on the meat. What's up with that and should I not use the oil? Always grill mt steaks btw..
None are right or wrong, just personal preference. Hope you had a nice Valentine's meal.
It turned out to be the best steak I've grilled thus far! Thank you
@@J_Dub88 Glad we were able to provide a little guidance. It was all you, though.
Thanks for giving a time before turning, most others forget to say how long to cook.
Thank you for acknowledging. Hope it helped.
PERFECT! THANK YOU!
Glad it worked for you.
you're welcome :)
I have done this many times before with great success, question should the lid be open or closed each time you turn the steaks? I alway close the lid to keep the heat and have the steaks cook to the proper temperature . We like medium rare.Steve B
The decision to keep the lid open or closed depends on temperature management. If you can maintain proper temperature with the lid open, no need to close it. If you're in a colder climate, then go ahead and close it. You know your grill's performance and weather better than us. Hope that helps.
Thank you!! I think you just changed my life.
Glad we were able to help a little.
I just wanted to thank you for taking your time out to make this video. My name is Keith. My wife and I live in Paso Robles, CA (Wine country) and we just purchased 4 beautiful 8 oz fillets. I'm curious, earlier you said "at this point I don't like to use salt," but shortly before grilling you added salt anyway. So you do want to add salt, but just not at that particular point? Also, just to be clear, I should grill the fillets at 500 degrees with the lid open. Also, what are your thoughts about adding bacon to the rim of the steaks? One more question, does thickness matter in terms of how long you cook them? I downloaded the Omaha Steak timer which I've used on Ribeye's but now I'm a 100% fillet and red wine man!
Keith G We prefer not to salt until we're close to grilling time so as to not draw moisture out of the meat. Some take a different position on this but that's ours. 500 degrees with the lid open is fine though we have moved to a Solaire Infrared Grill since shooting this video and it generates 1000 degrees with the lid open. Sears like nobody's business. We know people like wrapping their filets in bacon. We LOVE bacon but our filets are so good that they don't need it. It's entirely up to you. Our 12 oz steaks take a little longer than our 6 and 8 oz because they're taller but the difference is negligible. Thanks for acknowledging, happy grilling, and happy imbibing!
exactly - don't add salt until right before placing onto grill
I followed your directions, the cut the times even the temperature and our fillets came out medium well.
Odd, we used a temperature probe to make sure we maintained consistent temperature. Were your filets identical in size and weight? These were particularly tall because they were 10 ounce steaks.
Great demo
Thank you for the compliment. Glad you enjoyed it.
Did you salt both sides of the steak or only the top side as shown?
Both sides, Mr. Lowry. Thank you for catching our editing error.
My grill doesn't have a temperature gauge on it, just low, medium and high....would the high be 500 degrees?
Kathy Dean Most likely
Today I beat mine with the tenderizing hammer and seasoned /buttered them before grilling. Somehow they still managed to be tender. Now I see there is now need for the hammer lol
LOL!
This guy has total chill dad vibes lol. Like I could imagine him being downstairs just making a cooking video and I’m in my early 30s
Nailed it!
@@BestFiletMignon grilled my steak your way in 10 degree F winter weather. Came out perfect!
@@TheGoonSquadd That was all you Goon Squad Leader and we appreciate the compliment!
Thank you!. The steak turned out perfect. My loved it.
It was all you! Thank you for taking a moment to write. We appreciate it immensely.
I meant, my wife loved it.
@@davidjudd951 We filled in that blank.
@@BestFiletMignon LOL, ok
why does no one ever say whether they close the lid or not?
No one has ever made that comment or asked that question. Thanks for bringing it up. We do not close the lid. Hope that helps.
bandm1 I close my lid, just because I know the timing better that way. I think whatever works for you is fine.
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew Nicely stated.
@@BestFiletMignon I imagine not closing the lid keeps the temp more consistant which makes sense.
How long do you keep on grill for medium well? Also, do you use a meat thermomter?
I was on your website and couldn't find where you folks are located..
Missed this comment, sorry. Los Angeles.
Medium rare is how I enjoy, and also my grill is not as efficient as the one used on the video, I usually have to cook for around twenty min to my preferred donest
Trying this today. I purchased a full tenderloin and made my cuts roughly 2" thick. Should be a great dinner. Earlier today, I marinated with olive oil(no salt or spices). Was this a bad thing? I normally marinade my T-bone steak, but noticed you did your filet mignon right out of a bag. I want this to be PERFECT. Finally, what should the temp be? I'm using an infrared(no contact) thermometer.
Use a grill temperature of 500 degrees as a guideline. Marinating in olive oil is certainly not a bad thing.
Our fillets weighed 8-9 oz each. Perhaps the added weight in the fillets in the video made the difference. I plan to try your method again with 10 oz size monsters. Thanks for your dialogue and offers to help.
Feel free to reach out whenever you need any guidance.
This man knows what he is doing 👌🏽
Thank you for the compliment. Glad you liked the video.
Great Tips !
Thank you!
Great video, steaks look awesome. Mark
Thank you for your kind words!
awesome video. how long should the steaks stay covered under the tin foil?
Until you're ready to serve them. Thank you for the compliment.
At least 10 minutes, 15 if you can.
How is a 20 or 30 degree difference (40 degrees vs 60 or 70 degrees) going to shock the meat and make it tough when the heat source is 500 degrees?
Magic!
My mouth is watering...
Read the comments and responses..
1st tip, try letting them sit on a cooling rack in the fridge 8-24 hrs, a short "dry age" intensifies the flavor and a light coat of vegetable oil on either side, then salt and pepper (I'm a purist, salt only) helps the sear as well. And quick-sear the sides! (maybe 45 sec. on sides).
Rinsing the meat is a preference thing, pat-drying is needed either way, easier to prep, but if the steaks will be open for some time before cooking, give em a shower to reduce bacteria growth.
When you pull them from fridge, just be sure they are out long enough to get close to ambient temp. "Temp shock" is true enough, they can get tougher but, I don't know about the "redistribution of juices" before cooking... I guess could be a by-product of the fibers relaxing while it warms up. After the cook, absolutely. A full 5 for filets, 8-10 for regular to thick steaks, 15-20 for a roast and 20-25 for a turkey. It'll still be hot, I promise. Tent ur turkey!
Happy grilling...
Thank you for the input, Boomer! Looks like you know your way around protein and grilling.
Gracias Amigo you’re Awesome
Thank you.
Can you tell me if the steak comes out rare or medium? Thank you
Medium rare, in this case. Thank you for your question.
Nice video
What was the internal temperture for his filets? Where they supposed to be medium rare, medium, or well done? Did I miss something?
Please accept our apologies. We neglected to provide that information and forgot to cut the steaks open. They were finished medium rare, keeping in mind that they were very tall 12 oz steaks. If you are grilling a smaller filet, adjust the time down accordingly. Hope that helps. Thank you for commenting.
@@BestFiletMignon earlier comment you said they were 10 oz???
@@rhondazack6608 12 ounces.
Did you close the lid to the grill? Considering the thickness of that steak - I really need to see you cut into it.
We did not close the lid and continually hang our heads in shame for forgetting to cut into it.
@@BestFiletMignon I'm glad someone asked you about whether or not you closed the lid because I keep going back looking at the video thinking I must have missed it. That's an important detail. If you do any more videos please mention whether or not you close the lid because that changes the temperature dramatically. I just bought some filets and I'm heading home right now to cook them. Good video. Thank you!
@@atheisticusmaximus7549 Will do in the future and good luck grilling!
It's true that salting the meat will initially draw moisture out of the steak and shouldn't be done just before grilling. But if you salt the steak on both sides and refrigerate for 1 or 2 hours - known as dry brining - you'll get a great steak that's tender and juicy. The salt does draw out moisture at first, but then it will melt and be reabsorbed by the meat, tenderizing it and not losing moisture in the process. Trust me - I was skeptical but tried it and was so impressed that I always dry brine my steaks now.
Thank you for the tip!
Please share the reason for your choice of profile photo. We're very familiar with the P-38 Lightning.
Sure did. He loved it. :)
Does he close the grill while cooking it or just leave it open?
It was left open. Keep an eye on your temperature and that will be the deciding factor. Aim for 500 degrees.
Okay, I'm about to try this. Don't let me down ;)
Good luck!
Okay, the steaks turned out perfectly. Did this on an infrared grill, and the results were outstanding. Many thanks. :)
Glad we were able to help!
I know this is an old video but lemme tell you, it made all the difference in the world following these directions. Lid open or closed is the question. I did this two nights in a row on two different grills. Both Makers Mark (done with them). First one lid open, second I had to close it otherwise it wouldn’t cook. Is there a preference open or closed, does it effect time between flips? Thank you again.
Also, can you do a video on them taters and asparagus?
Dear Mr. Pierce, thank you for reaching out. As long as the grill can maintain the temperature, we've found that the lid being open or closed does not matter. Would love to be able to do more videos but the chef in the video passed away unexpectedly in 2018. We're working on something. Stay tuned.
I am so sorry for you loss. Thank you for the quick reply
@@raymondpierce8162 Thank you, Mr. Pierce, and thank you for your kind comment about following these directions. It is greatly appreciated.
Question, after removal from the barbecue, how long do you let it rest after you put the tin foil on?
As quickly as circumstances allow.
10 minutes
Thank you providing cover, Pogey!
