INGREDIENTS

  • 4 steaks Filet mignon 6-8 oz (170-225 g)
  • 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh minced thyme
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary minced
  • 2 tablespoons coarse pepper
  • 2 teaspoons smoked salt
  • olive oil

FOR THE SEAR

  • 1 bag Broil King® Griller’s Select Pellet

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix the rub ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl. Generously coat the steak with olive oil then apply the spice rub on all surfaces of the meat, let rest before grilling.
  2.  Turn your Broil King® Pellet grill on then press the GRILL 600°F (316°C) quick-set button. Follow the standard start-up instructions then preheat the grill completely. Brush or spray your cooking grids with cooking oil.
  3. Grill directly following the perfect steak grilling guide below. A filet will take generally no more than 6 minutes to achieve the perfect doneness but a thermometer is always the best way to check. You’ll want to remove the meat from the heat when it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). Top with some smoked finishing salt and serve immediately.
