Filet and Sauce

Mashed Potatoes

Sauteed Spinach

Sauteed Shrimp

Method

Filet and Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filets

    Season the center cut filet mignon with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Filets

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the filets to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the filets and let them rest.

  3. 3

    Make the Reduction Sauce

    In the same skillet, add port wine and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in butter until melted and combined.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until tender.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add milk, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Sauteed Spinach

  1. 6

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 7

    Add the Spinach

    Add fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Sauteed Shrimp

  1. 8

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

  2. 9

    Add Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper.
