Grilled Filet Mignon on the Big Green Egg | Filet Mignon Steak Recipe from Malcom Reed HowToBBQRight

Filet Mignon grilled on the Big Green Egg

For this recipe I started with two 12oz filets. This Filet Mignon recipe is about keeping the seasoning simple and adding flavor on the back end by melting steak butter over the top of the Filet Mignon.
Here’s the recipe for the Filet Mignon steak butter:
2 Sticks of Butter room temperature
4-5 Cloves Roasted Garlic smashed
1 Tablespoon Shallot (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh Thyme chopped fine
1 teaspoon fresh Sage chopped fine
1 teaspoon fresh Rosemary chopped fine
2 teaspoons Kosher Salt and
1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
Place the butter in a mixing bowl and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, & pepper. Use a fork to incorporate the ingredients and spoon the mixture into a small bowl packed tightly. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
For Cooking the Filet Mignon steaks:
Drizzle the Filets with Olive Oil and rub on all sides. Sprinkle a pinch of course Kosher Salt and Cracked Black Pepper over the olive oil and let the Filet Mignon steaks sit out for a few minutes while you build a fire.
In the Big Green Egg I use a bed of Lump charcoal and set the vents wide open. These grills can do temps upwards of 700 degrees. I’m talking screaming hot here, so be careful. This cook is all about searing the outside of the steak fast and then shutting the cooker down so the temp drops to finish off the inside of the steak.
Once the temperature gauge hits 650 degrees it’s time to start grilling. With any ceramic grill crack the lid about 1” and wait for a couple seconds before opening. Trust me the heat will take all of the hair off your arm if you’re not careful.
Place the Filets on the grill grate and close the lid. Set a timer for 1 minute then rotate the Filet Mignon steaks a quarter turn. After another minute, carefully open the lid and flip the Filet Mignon steaks over. Set the timer for 1 minute and repeat the process. Total cook time for this portion is 4 minutes.
Immediately close all vents on the cooker after the first 4 minutes and set the timer for 3 ½ minutes. You should see the grill temperature gradually start to drop once air is cut off.
When there’s about 1 ½ minutes left on the timer, Place a heaping Tablespoon of Filet Mignon Steak Butter on top of each filet. I like to keep the butter really cold in the refrigerator before placing it on the steaks so it doesn’t immediately run off.
When the final 3 ½ minutes is up, the filets will be right at medium rare. If you like your steak a little more or less done just adjust the time a touch.
As always you need to give the steaks a rest for 5-10 minutes. At this point they’re ready to serve.

I did this filet mignon on my BGE tonight. I did it exactly as he did in this video. It was one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life. Thumbs up for this recipe. This guy knows his stuff.

[@danbologna7894]

I can't believe he has some thumbs down on this video, it works perfectly. As does all of his videos!

Everything he cooks is perfect.

Eating some Beef Filets and listening to ZZ TOP just got paid.. AWESOME !

[@shawntezross340]

I thought he was about to break out and do the jiggy pop when he tasted the steak!!! Go head on Malcolm!!!!! Grill on bruh man!!!!!

[@unionwelder598]

Love these old videos. It let's us know your journey. Keep it up. Thanks.

[@MsDsanderson]

Wow Malcolm, I’ve had a BGE since 2001 and this the best video I’ve ever watched on it. My daughter in Law is bringing over a couple filets in exchange for some compost from our farm. Is that the best deal ever thanks to you! Thanks Malcolm.

[@Tim-again]

Thank you! Just got my green egg yesterday and made some steaks for my wife and me. Followed your instructions and it came out PERFECT! Thank you!

[@AngryBeerrin]

I consult this channel for instructions or ideas at least once a week, sometimes 3 or 4. Thanks man for everything you do Malcolm! You make my life way more delicious

[@07krutons]

Same. Everything Malcolm makes is fuckin legit

[@jtasgl88]

After watching this 4 years ago, this is the only way I make steaks. People are always amazed at how good the steak butter is.

[@supabuck2822]

Malcolm, thank you so much for your tutorials. I now feel like an expert on the green egg. Everyone has loved every single recipe of yours that I have cooked for them. I really appreciate your craft!

[@dkcbr600]

Malcom to the rescue. Today is my Dads birthday. He wanted Filet Mignon. He asked me to cook them. I love to grill. I couldn't refuse. They turned out awesome! Thank you!!

[@stevechoryan8266]

I just wanted to take a quick moment and thank you, i bought some filets tonight and cooked them just how you said and they were the best steaks ive ever cooked in my life and the wife loved them. great video, i used a weber and got my temp around 550 and it worked like a charm

[@jamesbtg]

As expected, this is a perfect recipe. You are incredibly detailed. I followed this to the letter and my filet mignon turned out phenomenal.

[@nickcallaway1568]

First time doing filets on the egg tonight, and I did exactly this. Couldn’t have been more perfect. Thank you so much for your videos, Malcom.

[@BudzyFoxMX5]

Just picked up a vintage 1980s green egg that's been refinished. This is the first cook I'm trying. That looks sooo perfect.

[@stevee7774]

Vintage style eggs from the 80’s were not all ceramic like newer eggs. Only the firebox, fire ring and damper top were ceramic. The body of those eggs were made of fire clay and can’t take the extreme heat of high temp cooks like this. It’s usually not recommended to go over 400 degrees on them but I’ve had mine up to 500 without damaging it luckily. You can definitely go nuclear with the newer ones!

[@BudzyFoxMX5]

@@stevee7774 you're very correct. The bottom part of the clay cracked but only because I was moving it and set it down too hard. Sad day. I still have it but I bought a used large kamado joe and primarily cook on that.

[@stevee7774]

@@BudzyFoxMX5 - Uh oh, sorry to hear about the cracked egg! They are actually repairable with some good quality refractory cement. Mine has a hairline crack in the dome from some rough handling years ago but not bad enough to affect performance. I’d probably try to repair it if it’s not too bad! The Kamado Joe’s seem pretty nice and probably cook great too, I really like these style of cookers.

[@tubejay1]

I've made filet's using this method at least 10 times now, and they always turn out amazing. Thanks again! This is perfection.

[@Quatermass1157]

OMG i was bought an Egg by my wife and I have done this twice now and it was awesome. You are a legend. Thanks. If you ever come to the UK i would love to cook this for you.

[@nol5558]

I'd just like to say that you've been a better teacher than any other channel offers. I've cooked near to your entire library and it's all been bang on. Keep it up and I hope this finds you well.

[@garrettfuldead]

I’ve duplicated this cook about 5 or 6 times already. Perfect every time. My father in law said it’s the best steak he’s ever had! Thanks

[@bronxbilly1972]

Wow Malcom Thank you for clearly helping me make my decision on what I am cooking for Christmas Eve for the family!

[@MICHAELZHANGCA]

Well done. Oh, I mean perfect medium rare done, Malcom. Thanks for another great vid. I came across your channel a few days ago and then I bought a smoke and then I smoked some ribs and a turkey for Christmas. All turned out really great. A big thank you to you, man.

[@whodat7032]

Followed this recipe to the letter on a Kamado Joe classic 2 and it was literally the best steak I've ever had or made, and I've been smoking and grilling for over 20 years. Kamado style grills are insanely good.

[@kmaynard52]

YT recommended this to me and I’m from Southaven too! The butcher shop is the best 😍 I had to replay that part because I thought I’d heard wrong 😆

[@gergage6]

Is he talking about The Butcher's Block? I know of The Butcher Shop next to the Agricenter but I couldn't find one in Southaven

This method makes the best steaks. Seriously, made them 4 times now like this, and it's better than any restaurant steak.

Used this exact process for my sons bday party tonight it was a success! Steak butter was a huge hit! Thank you!

That steak is cooked perfectly

[@ChristopherDillman]

My comment is a thank you note. 🤘I found this on YT last min to get these 50 dollar filets on the grill tonight. Did your recipe verbatim, but used the Salt Lick Dry Rub in lieu of the salt n pepper with the olive oil. I did this on the Big Green Egg knock-off called an 'Akorn Char-Griller' and it still worked fantastic. 2 mins a side (did the 1 min half-rotation for grill marks), then 3.5 min with slice of straight butter and Salt Lick Dry Rub seasoning. I might nudge it in future to 4 to 4.5 mins to be more 'medium medium rare' on the Akorn. All legit. You're an inspiration, thank you my man. 😎👊🏻🍺

[@STARFOXY20]

Blast the outside of that ceramic with a little heat and that steak butter will slide out! Nice big old slices. I plan to use that butter recipe for my filets this Christmas! Thanks! By-the-by I just came from a video where some kids in the comments said there is no other way to get a great filet mignon than using a sous vide. I bet sous vide is fantastic. I also bet it doesn't amount to squat compared to what you cooked my friend.

[@alf3553]

Hi Malcom Nice job on the steaks. I cook these all the time on a Large BGE with a cast iron grill. I have been using pretty much the same method as this. And I have been using a butter mix as well. This always turns out great. I will have to give your butter mix a try. If my steaks are really thick I use a reverse sear method to bring up the internal temp to 110* then hit them hot and fast , like them medium. Great videos

Danny Tat you don't need one as long your grill can reach 500 to 600, your good bro... but we cooked ours 2 to 5 minutes longer but managed the heat the same way. joints came out perfect bro on a $80 charcoal Grill

[@chilipowder3904]

Gixxerkartman You mean never trust a chef that is alive. If this dude keeps eating like that he is going to die pretty young.
