Filet Mignon

Yukon Gold Smashed Potatoes

Grilled Asparagus

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary on both sides.

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the filet mignon to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

  4. 4

    Add Butter

    In the last minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet. Use a spoon to baste the filet with the melted butter.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Yukon Gold Smashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the Yukon Gold potatoes and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Prepare Garlic

    While the potatoes are boiling, mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes until creamy but still chunky.

Grilled Asparagus

  1. 9

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends.

  2. 10

    Season the Asparagus

    In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 11

    Grill the Asparagus

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the asparagus for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred.
