This is my cousin's recipe for an exceptional Filet Mignon (or any steak for that matter). It makes one great steak that rivals any that you would get at Outback, Fleming's or Ruth's Chris. The marinade is simply a combination of soy sauce and garlic powder. It depends on how many steaks you make to the measurements. For six steaks I used one 10 oz. bottle of Soy Sauce and 3 tablespoons of garlic powder. Lay the steaks in a baking dish and pour marinade over steaks. Marinate for 1 hour turning over at 30 minutes. Before placing steaks on the grill I added a bit of Cavender's for a bit of peppery taste that is not too overpowering.
Heat the grill to medium high heat (some people say high heat, but I think it's too dangerous to cook the steak too fast and make it tough). Grill steaks for 5-10 min. on each side (depending on how you like your steaks cooked). A trick to make grill marks on the steaks is to turn the steaks 90ยบ to create the cross-hatch look.
We cooked some baked potatoes and grilled some corn on the cob to go along with the steaks.
- Enjoy the Steaks! They are phenomenal!
