Filet Mignon

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the filet mignon to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Finish with Butter

    In the last minute of cooking, add the butter and rosemary to the skillet. Baste the filet mignon with the melted butter. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare French Fries

    While the steak is resting, prepare the french fries. Preheat the oven according to package instructions if using frozen fries or cut fresh potatoes into strips and soak in cold water for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cook French Fries

    If using frozen fries, bake according to the package instructions until golden and crispy. If using fresh potatoes, drain, pat dry, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the filet mignon and serve alongside the french fries. Enjoy your meal!
