Truffle Fries
Method
Filet Mignon
- 1
Prepare the Steak
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
- 2
Season the Steak
Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Sear the Steak
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter, garlic cloves (smashed), and fresh thyme. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the filet mignon. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
- 4
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

Season the Fries
In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Bake the Fries
Spread the coated fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Finish with Truffle Oil
