Filet Mignon

Garlic Butter Glaze

Beef Au Jus

Smoked Gouda Hash Browns

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the filet mignon and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness.

Garlic Butter Glaze

  1. 4

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Glaze the Steak

    Once the steak is cooked, brush the garlic butter glaze over the filet mignon before removing it from the skillet.

Beef Au Jus

  1. 6

    Make the Au Jus

    In a small saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.

  2. 7

    Serve the Au Jus

    Serve the au jus alongside the filet mignon for dipping.

Smoked Gouda Hash Browns

  1. 8

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and then dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 9

    Cook the Hash Browns

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the grated potatoes, salt, and pepper, pressing them down evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook another 5 minutes.

  3. 10

    Add the Cheese

    Once both sides are crispy, sprinkle the smoked gouda cheese over the top and cover the skillet until the cheese melts.
