Filet Mignon with a Onion Sauce
***What You Need***
-Filet Mignon to your liking
-Your Favorite Steak Seasoning
-A couple of onions
-Garlic Cloves
-Rosemary
-A little (A lot) of butter
A Filet Mignon is one of the best cuts of beef out there. They have great texture but sometimes lack flavor. I am going to show you in this video how we do Filets every now and then to really add some flavor. Plus we love showing how versatile the grillagrills.com/ pellet grill is.
First off we picked up two beautiful Filets from our local grocery store. We trimmed them as little as possible but they had a good amount of silver skin and fat that needed to be removed. Once they were trimmed, I brushed a light coat of Moore's Marinade to help the rub stick. I seasoned them with a good amount of black pepper and a medium coat of
www.tnmojobbq.... Beef rub. The Beef rub and black pepper go great together and really bring out the flavor.
We are going to let this steaks rest on the counter for about an hour to let the rubs work there magic. I used a cooling rack to keep the steaks out of the seasoning and seems to help get a more consistent crust and color on these filets.
While the steaks are resting, I am going to get the Silverbac fired up. You can cook these steaks on any grill you have with great results. I just want to show that just because you have a pellet doesn't mean you can't cook a great steak. Of course, I will be using www.grillgrate... in this recipe just to help with the grill marks and searing. I set the Silverbac at 485 and I know that the grates will be well above 600.
While the grill is coming up, I am going to make the onion sauce. I took two sweet onions and removed the steam and the outer layer. I then made a small pocket in the onion where I removed the stem. I place a single beef bouillon cube and a pad of butter in each. I then put the onions, several cloves of garlic, rosemary, and several pads of butter in a small dutch oven with the lid on. I will get this in the over at 400 for about an hour. You can do the same in a small foil pack or any container you would like. You want to cook the onions down until they are really tender. Should tak about an hour.
Now its time to get these filets cooked. This cook is as simple as it gets. I just went with the 2 minutes twist, 2 minutes flip, 2 minutes twist and check for doness. I took these filets to about 122 for a good medium rare finish. Its always a good idea to let them rest for a few minutes if you can. I add a small pad of butter to melt over them and slow down the cook process.
While the steak are resting I worked on the onion sauce. Everything should be good and tender in the dutch oven. This makes it easy to incorporate and create a great sauce. I used a potato masher and worked the sauce to a good even consistency.
You can serve the sauce on the side or over the steaks. The filets turned out great and the sauce just added even more flavor!
I hope yall enjoy this recipe and let us know what you think.
Thanks again!

Wow nice looking and delicious 😋 steak 🥩 especially with the onion sauce . I will try it tonight 😃
The best steaks are the ones you don't have to add anything to after they're served. These here look good!
Great looking steaks and the onion sauce is intriguing.
Its a great addition! Thanks!
Tried this tonight, don’t put the garlic in until half way through or it will burn and get bitter but other than that, spot on🤤

T-bone definitely will be in the near future. Would you rather see it with or without grill grates and any particular grill? Thanks for the great support!
Rather see it on my plate but guess I'll do with a vid and try it myself lol
I've been coming back to this video for a couple years now and use it almost every time for my filets. It's amazing. But I have been searching for that spatula with the slots for a while and cannot find it anywhere. Where did you get that?
Grillgrate.com
Damn man, this looks so good!
Thanks!
Lord have mercy that looks good.
HAHA! Thanks!
Have you thought about using the flat side of the Grillgrates? I do it for hamburgers and steaks.
Oh yea! It works great. Haven’t tried it in steaks yet but definitely will give it a try. Works great on burgers. Check out our skirt burger video.
Give em a guuuud twist
Love it, going to try it. Going to buy a larger pellet grill have a Traeger now, but to small. What pellet grills do you like best? From Kentucky
There are several great pellet grills out there but the bang for your buck is going to be Grilla Grills.. hands down!! Cost and build quality are top notch and customer service in excellent! You will not regret it!
MAN that looks good! Gotta ask, what's your go to on the grill meal on a game day?
Just depends on the cook. Big meats... I gotta say the outlaw stick burner or drum. Grilling... PK or Weber. Any sides or apps go on pellet. lol.
Will Killer Hogs Steak Rub work here too? This looks awesome
Oh yea! Use whatever rub you like!
Also liked and subed
Thanks!
Question... if you set grill to 480, how are the grates going to be 600 degrees??
The Grill Temp probe is only ready air temp above the grate so it reads 480. The temp gun is reading surface temp of the grates and the aluminum grates absorb more of the heat. If that makes since. Grill Grates make all the difference in the world.
@@SwineLifeBBQ now that you explained it all makes sense, thanks bro big fan of your videos. I want to get grates ...Any suggestions on grates ?
Victor H grillgrate.com
Are those cast iron grates on your smoker? If so, how do you take care of them? Season, clean after use?
These are aluminum. I still try and keep them seasoned as much as possible.
if you cooked steak exactly the same way using Weber kettle and charcoal instead ..do you think you could tell the difference in taste?
Honestly, most likely on a hot and fast cook it would be hard to taste the difference. Now if you slow the cook down you may could pick up the charcoal flavor. Also something think about is with a filet there isnt a lot of fat dripping on the coals to add flavor where as a ribeye would.
@@SwineLifeBBQ ...agree with you thanks for your input
Do you need to have those grill grates?
What is the the size (quarts) is the Dutch oven?
I believe it’s a 1 quart. I think. I will check
How long before the onions sauce cook before mashable and what temp? Looks so good? 😋😋
Usually 45 minutes at 400 will do it! Thanks!
@@SwineLifeBBQThank you sir. 👌
How long does it take to cook a filet? Seems quicker than other people with pellet grills
Usually 8-10 minutes for rare plus..
Where can I get grates like you have?
grillgrate.com
Am i the only person wanting to know where he got the lid topper for the cast iron?
Haha! I will find out where we got it and let you know.
What are gloves you use for food prep and where can we find them? Link?
They are just black latex gloves and I order them from howtobbqright.com
When you sear your steaks on the grates, do you have your broiler plate on the pellet grill open to expose the flame or closed?
No flame exposed. Standard drip pan in pan. Just running it hot and letting the grill do the work.
@@SwineLifeBBQ Are those cast iron grates on top of your other ones? If so what kind and where do you get them?
I am looking for sear grates for my 700e z grill. I hear that bbq is the same as mine. Does anyone know where I can get his sear grates
www.grillgrate.com
I’m in love with your kitchen?
Thanks! Lucky enough to have a dad very talented with cabinets!
If I wand more of a char on the whole piece instead of grill marks, can I do that on the flat side of the grates?
Should be able to. Just as long as they are in the a little cooler than 600 degrees since you want be twisting them. Should work great!
Swine Life BBQ thanks for the speedy reply. Filet mignon is on my menu for this week -perfect timing! I appreciate your videos. Keep’m coming...if u can.
Appreciate the support!
Will this way of cooking the fliets also good on a cast iron
Oh yea! That would be great also.
How do you keep your steak hot during this resting period?
Usually just on a warm plate with a little foil covering it is good enough. You can pre heat the plate with hot water from the faucet and it works great.
What brand is the 2qt Dutch oven you used for the onions?
I will check. It was a gift. It’s a great little pot tho!
Southern living as well as Mary’s Stewart’s collection has them. They are enameled coated inside.
Why would you press the steak instead of just flipping it?
Just to make sure there was good contact on the grates. Helps with seating and even cook. You could flip as much as you like but may not get as good if marks. No right or wrong way.
What type of wood pellets did you use?
Usually pecan, hickory, or post oak. I try to stay with a Hardwood and not a fruit.
What brand of Dutch oven
This was a Martha Stewart Collection believe it or not LOL.
Where did you buy the grate that you have on your pellet grill Thanks.

I really don't know why folks pour rub all over the meat they're smoking. Salt, Pepper, and maybe a little garlic powder is perfect. But I'm not the foremost expert. I just want to taste the steak. Just my preference.
“We want the grill grates to be 600 degrees. Sets it to 485.” Im confusedp
Check out our “How Grill Grates Work” video.
@@SwineLifeBBQ i came back to this video and saw this comment thinking it was a stupid question and then realized i was the one who asked it😂
rib eyes?
Do not...I repeat, do NOT press a quality steak like Filet onto the grate. Oh, feel free to mash a burger or pork chops, but not steak. The weight of the meat will settle it onto the grates without any help from you, plus, every time you press the steak you lose juices...you don't want to do that. Second, unless you prefer the flavor of choice cuts, get a better grade. Having to trim half the fat (hard or otherwise) inflates the cost of the remaining meat to the point where you'd have been better getting a better grade of meat with less waste (and more steak).
Sauce on that steak just ruined it, good thing you paid so much for them cuts!
Don’t press the steaks you’re killing me!
it's pronounced "boo-yon"
