Filet Medallions

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Truffle Buttered Seafood

Method

Filet Medallions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Medallions

    Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Sear the Medallions

    Add the filet medallions to the skillet and sear for about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop Yukon Gold potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic

    In the last 5 minutes of boiling, add crushed garlic cloves to the pot.

  3. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

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

Asparagus

  1. 6

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus spears and toss them with olive oil and salt.

  2. 7

    Cook the Asparagus

    Grill or sauté the asparagus over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Béarnaise Sauce

  1. 8

    Make the Reduction

    In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter, add shallots and white wine vinegar. Simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

  2. 9

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and the reduction until thick and creamy.

  3. 10

    Finish the Sauce

    Gradually whisk in the remaining butter until the sauce is smooth. Stir in tarragon, salt, and pepper.

Truffle Buttered Seafood

  1. 11

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a skillet, melt butter and add crab meat, lobster meat, and shrimp. Cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

  2. 12

    Add Truffle Oil

    Drizzle in truffle oil and toss to coat the seafood evenly.
