Ingredients

24 ounces filet mignon

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 large sweet onions

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large peach

1 large mango

sweet onion ends

1/2 bunch cilantro

2 tablespoons champagne vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 - 4 tablespoons water

Directions

Soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill with a section for indirect medium heat and a section for direct medium heat.*

Prep the Steaks

Portion the filet mignon into four 6 ounce steaks. Season each steak with salt and pepper then rub with olive oil. Set aside.

Prep the Onions

Slice onions into three 1/2" - 3/4" thick slices, reserving the thinner end pieces for the sauce.

Skewer the onion slices using two parallel skewers to hold all the layers together. Make sure one skewer pierces the center section so that it doesn't fall out.

Rub all slices with olive oil and salt. Set aside.

Prep the Sauce

Remove peach seed, remove seed and peel from the mango. Place mango and peach flesh along with remaining onion pieces into a large food processor or blender.

Trim the ends off of 1/2 a bunch of cilantro, then add cilantro to the food processor along with the vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Blend on high until the sauce is bright green and resembles a pesto or chimichurri style sauce.

Start Grilling

Place the onions on the grill over direct medium heat. Place the steak on the grill over indirect medium heat.

Grill steak and onions for 7 minutes, then flip. Continue to cook the onion another 7 minutes - 10 minutes or until they are tender and golden brown.

Continue to cook the steak until the internal temperature reaches 110 degrees, then remove the steak to a clean plate. Turn that section of the grill to medium high and allow it 5 minutes to heat.

Sear all sides of the steak over direct medium high heat for about 60 seconds per side. Check for an internal temperature of 125 degrees and allow it to rest 5 minutes before serving.

Roughly chop onions. Serve steak with sauce and onions.
