3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher or other coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 (4 to 6 ounce) 1-inch thick filet mignons
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Place the steaks on a shallow dish and rub the garlic mixture all over the meat. Marinate at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours or, better still, covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Turn the meat from time to time to coat both sides evenly.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator an hour before cooking. When you are ready to grill, preheat barbecue grill. Place steaks onto hot grill. Cover barbecue with lid, open any vents, and sear for approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side or until done to your preference using a meat thermometer (see below).
Rare - 120 degF
Medium Rare - 125 degF
Medium - 130 degF
When the steaks are crusty-charred and done to your liking, remove from the grill, let sit 15 minutes before serving (meat temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees after it is removed from the oven). Place on a platter or individual dinner plates.
