How to Cook Filet Mignon on Blackstone Griddle

• Step 1 – Heat Griddle – Preheat the Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat (approximately 450 degrees F). You want the griddle to be hot to get a good sear on the steaks.
• Step 2 – Room Temperature Steaks – Make sure that the steaks are dry and are at room temperature. The steaks need to dry with paper towels.
• Step 3 – Combine Seasoning – Combine the garlic powder, sea salt and fresh ground black pepper together in a small bowl. Then season the steaks with the seasoning mixture.

• Step 4 – Oil the griddle – Spread the oil out onto the Blackstone grill with a spatula. 

• Step 5 – Cook Steaks – Place the steak on a Blackstone. Let them cook for approximately 2-3 minutes with the lid closed and do not move them to get a good sear on the steaks.

• Step 6 – Flip Steaks – Then use tongs to gently lift and flip the steak. If the steaks are still sticking to the grill, this means that they need more time and they are not ready to flip yet.

• Step 7 – Continue to Cook Steaks – Flip the steaks onto a separate section of the grill. Then cook the steaks for 2-3 more minutes to reverse sear the opposite side of the steaks.
• Step 8 – Brown both sides of the filet on Blackstone – To brown the sides of the steak, hold the steaks onto the grill with tongs and cook for 1-2 minutes per side to brown the sides of the steak.  

• Step 9 – Continue Cooking – Then reduce the temperature on the Blackstone grill to medium heat. Cook the steak until they are done to your preference. 
• Step 10 – Check Temperature – Use an instant read meat thermometer to check the steak temperature. The recipe notes have the internal temperature for each steak preference.
• Step 11 – Top with Butter – Then top each steak with approximately ½ Tbsp of butter and let the butter melt into the steak.

• Step 12 – Serve & Enjoy – Remove the steaks from the grill. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes and then they are ready to serve warm and then enjoy. 

Expert Tips

• Sear Steaks – Allow the steaks to sear on the griddle. Cook all sides of the steak to ensure it cooks evenly.
• Rest Steaks – Once the steak is cook, allow them to rest before cutting into it. This helps to lock in the juice giving the steaks so much flavor.

How to Know When Steak is Done

The best way to test for doneness is by inserting an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Do this through the side, not the top of the steak.

Steak Doneness: 

• Rare – 120F, cool to warm red center
• Medium-Rare – 130F, Warm red center
• Medium – 140F, Hot pink center
• Well Medium – 150F, Mostly brown center
• Well Done – 160F, full brown in color

Steak Topping Ideas

• Caramelized Onions – Grilled onions are great on steaks as they add so much flavor.
• Sauteed Mushrooms – Most of my family loves mushrooms, and they are perfect topped with this Blackstone Steak.
• Butter and Garlic Sauce – If add butter to your steak, mix in some garlic for an amazing flavor. Add in fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme for delicious flavor.
