Filet Mignon

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Seasonal Vegetables

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steaks

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with water.

  2. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

  3. 7

    Prepare the Garlic

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  4. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the garlic butter mixture, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Seasonal Vegetables

    Trim the asparagus and peel the carrots. Cut the carrots into thin strips.
