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.
