Method
Filet Mignon
Prepare the Steaks
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Season the Steaks
Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.
Sear the Steaks
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the filet mignon to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for desired doneness.
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Truffle Mashed Potatoes
Add Cream and Butter
Stir in the butter and heavy cream. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Incorporate Truffle Oil
Drizzle in the truffle oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
