Meat and Poultry Beef Steaks Filet Mignon Recipes Herb-Marinated Tenderloin 4.5 (2) 1 Review 3 Photos Tenderloin (sometimes called filet mignon) is the king of steaks. It's lean, tender, you can add any desired flavor to it and it will absorb it all, and you can cut it with a butter knife. This is expensive, though, so only cook this once in a while.

Wrap the thyme sprigs around the fillet. Store in refrigerator to allow the meat to absorb the flavors for 4 to 12 hours. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate. Cut the tenderloin in half and season with salt and pepper. Cook the fillets 4 to 6 minutes per side, until no longer pink, or to desired doneness. Cook's Note: I like to serve this with mashed cinnamon sweet potatoes, dill grilled green beans, and a side salad.
