Filet Mignon

Loaded Baked Potato

Method

Preparing the Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Sprinkle both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper, ensuring an even coating.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to achieve desired doneness.

Making the Herb Butter

  1. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, and minced garlic. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

  2. 4

    Chill the Butter

    Transfer the herb butter mixture onto a piece of parchment paper, form it into a log, and roll it tightly. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

Preparing the Loaded Baked Potato

  1. 5

    Bake the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the baking potatoes with a fork, rub with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh.

  2. 6

    Load the Potatoes

    Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Cut a slit in the top, fluff the inside with a fork, and add butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and bacon bits as desired.

Plating the Dish

  1. 7

    Serve

    Place the seared filet mignon on a plate, top with a slice of herb butter, and serve alongside the loaded baked potato.
