Notes
For Grain-Finished Filet Mignon:
Increase the cook time by 2-3 minutes in general to achieve the desired results. The tenderloin steak for grain finished is 2 ounces larger than it's grass fed equivalent. That, combined with more intramuscular fat in the grain finished beef means they will need to cook these steaks slightly longer.
