Mesquite Smoked Filet Mignon
- 4 filet mignon steaks
- 3/4 tsp Mediterranean sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground peppercorn
- Unroll a couple feet of foil and place wood chips in the center.
- Completely wrap the wood chips in the foil.
- Poke the foil with a fork to allow the smoke to escape and flavor the filets.
- Place the foil under your grates but over the burner and cook until the wood starts smoking.
- Add salt and pepper to the steaks on both sides and place on the grill.
- Cook uncovered for 6 minutes then flip.
- The steaks, not yourself.
- Although if you can do a flip, I suppose you should...it's pretty cool.
- But ensure you do lip the steaks after executing a perfect flip with a solid landing and blowing a kiss to the judges.
- I cooked min until it was 127F internal temperature and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Punch anybody in the face reaching for or asking for steak sauce.
- I served mine with a baked potato and a side salad of mixed greens with tomato and basil infused feta cheese crumbles topped with a lovely raspberry vinaigrette.
