Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef tenderloin steaks 4 pieces, (otherwise called filet mignon)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried whole rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (if using a stove top grill pan)

For the Lemon Rosemary Butter:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. Season the steak pieces on both sides equally with the salt, pepper, onion powder and rosemary.
  3. Place the steaks on the grill and do not be tempted to flip for at least 5 minutes until it has a nice sear on that side.
  4. Flip the steak and lower the heat to medium, then cook for an extra 6-8 minutes depending on how well you want your steak and how thick it is. Let it cook longer for medium well-up to 10 minutes.
  5. Flip the steak back and turn off the heat. Place half a teaspoon (or more up to your taste) of the butter mixture on each piece of steak.
  6. Then put the cover on (if using a grill) or aluminum foil (if using a stovetop grill pan) to cover the steak pieces loosely for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve the steak with extra butter if needed.

Recipe Notes

  • Adjust the cooking time to your preferred cooking grade, starting at 4 minutes per side for rare and going up to 8 minutes for well done. Don't go higher than 9 minutes.
  • Let your steak rest after grilling to give the juices time to settle.
  • Serve these steaks with a dollop of herb butter to take them to the next level.
