Perfectly grilled filet mignon steaks combine with grilled peppers and onions and Boursin cheese on toasted Brioche buns for these scrumptious Grilled Steak Sandwiches. Thank you to the Ohio Beef Council for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are mine alone.
It’s really hard to beat a grilled filet mignon. Beef filet steaks sometimes get a bad rap in terms of flavor. They are very lean and fat marbling is what adds flavor to beef. However if filet mignon is perfectly cooked and seasoned it’s like butter. Melt in your mouth, tender, meaty goodness. Why would you not want to make a steak sandwich out of this pile of grilled and sliced steak perfection? You’re going to want to add these Grilled Steak Sandwiches to your summer meal rotation immediately.

How to Grill Steak Sandwiches
I like to prepare my peppers and onions first because the steak is the star of the show here. Whisk together oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and sugar. Slice the peppers and onions and toss them with the vinegar mixture. Seal them in a foil pouch and place them on a grill until they are tender.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Scrape the grill clean and heat one side on medium high heat. One side on low heat.
Place the steaks on the hot side of the grill and close the lid. Allow to cook for about 4 minutes.
Flip the steaks over and move them to the low heat side of the grill. Close the lid again and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Check the temperature of the steaks with a digital meat thermometer. I like my filet mignon cooked medium rare for these sandwiches. You’ll want to remove the steaks from the grill when the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. Depending on the thickness of your filet mignons, this may take longer than 8 minutes of grilling time.
Top each steak with a pat of butter and allow them to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before thinly slicing them for the sandwiches.
Tips for Grilling Beef
- Become a grill master this summer! Follow these simple grilling guidelines to learn approximately how many minutes to grill burgers, steaks and kabobs to achieve the perfect temperature.
- Keep food safety in mind when thawing beef before grilling. Although some say to bring beef to room temperature before grilling, we recommend seasoning beef as soon as it’s taken from the fridge, then putting it right on the grill.
- Remember that beef’s internal temperature will continue to rise even after it is removed from the grill. Use an ovenproof or instant-read thermometer to monitor beef’s doneness and don’t be afraid to turn the temperature down.
- After grilling, allow beef to rest for about five minutes before cutting and serving. This prevents the tasty juices from draining out of the beef and onto your plate.

Oh, for sure you can’t beat a filet mignon on the grill! I love to grill steak and use leftovers for salads but when I saw this, with my favorite grilled peppers and onions (although I do mine without the foil) I just had to make this sandwich. It was heaven on a roll and will be made many times in the summer days ahead.
