Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Asparagus

   Trim the ends of the asparagus and blanch in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Mushrooms

   In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Sear the Filet Mignon

   Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the steaks over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Add Gorgonzola

   During the last minute of cooking, place the Gorgonzola cheese on top of the steaks and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.

5. 5

   Plate the Dish

   On each plate, arrange the blanched asparagus next to the filet mignon. Spoon the sautéed mushrooms on top of the steak and drizzle with demi-glace.
