Grilled Filet Mignon with Whiskey Garlic Shrimp Sauce

There’s nothing like a little surf and turf to make your dinner feel a little fancy, and there’s nothing like a wood fire to make your steak and shrimp really sing.

This particular steak is a filet mignon from ButcherBox. We’ve been ButcherBox subscribers for ages now, and it is so nice to have almost all of our meat delivered right to our door!

There are plan sizes for every family, from big to small, and you get to customize your box to make sure it includes just what you want.

It is all up to you.

Why ButcherBox?

Well, convenience, for one. I’m notorious for just filling my cart, no matter how many items are on my list. The more I stay out of the grocery store, the more I’m able to stick to my grocery budget and skip on the extras.

Beyond that, I really appreciate the reliability of the actual quality of the meat I’m getting.

They deliver 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef, free-range organic chicken, heritage-breed pork, and wild-caught seafood directly to your doorstep. You can trust that the high-quality meat you put on your table each day is better for you and your family, the farmers, the animals’ welfare, the businesses involved, and our planet. You can pick your box out here!

How to make filet mignon on the grill

We love steak, and the filet mignon is one of my favorite cuts. For this cut, there are a lot of ways you can cook it, but the key is to not overcook the meat. Filets are a pretty lean steak, and cooking them past medium is a waste.

1. Season the steak with salt, pepper, and optionally your favorite steak rub.
2. Place the steak on a searing hot grill and cook for a few minutes a side, until the internal temperature reaches the desired “pull at” temp (see below).
3. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before cutting or serving.

If you’d rather not fire up the grill for this, our Blackstone Griddle is a great way to make a good steak! Check out this recipe for a Wagyu Manhattan Filet from a little while back.
