Equipment
Z Grills Pellet Smoker
Ingredients
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp garlic powder, or to taste
2 tbsp butter
2 filet mignon steaks
Instructions
Preheat your Z Grills pellet smoker to 450°F.
Prepare your steaks by patting them dry with a paper towel.
Season the filet mignons generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Once the grill is preheated, sear the steaks for 5-8 minutes on both sides (10-16 minutes total).
Remove the filet mignons when they reach an internal temperature of 130°F. Although the USDA recommends you bring beef up to an internal temperature of 145°F, filet mignons tend to lose their tenderness and flavor when overcooked past medium-rare.
Allow the filet mignon steaks to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Finish filets with butter while resting, or serve filets with butter.
