Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Asparagus

   Trim the ends of the asparagus and wash them under cold water. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Filet Mignon

   Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Finish the Steaks

   In the last minute of cooking, add butter and crushed garlic to the skillet. Baste the butter over the steaks until melted and fragrant. If using, add a sprig of fresh thyme for additional flavor.

4. 4

   Serve

   Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve alongside the sautéed asparagus and drizzle with the garlic butter from the skillet.
