Ingredients
  

  • 6 8-ounce filets mignons
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Blue Cheese Dressing to serve (recipe follows)
  • Garnish: green onions

Method
 

  1. Spray grill rack with nonflammable cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350° to 400°).

Place filets on grill, and cook until a food thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 135° for medium-rare (about 4 to 6 minutes per side) or to desired doneness.* Remove steaks from grill, and let stand for 10 minutes. Serve with Blue Cheese Dressing. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
