Cooking Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Rest

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    Boil Potatoes

    Peel and cut potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mash Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Grilling Asparagus

  1. 6

    Prepare Asparagus

    Trim the ends of asparagus and toss with olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

  2. 7

    Grill Asparagus
