Grilled Filet Mignon* Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Filet Mignon

   Season the filet mignon with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on all sides. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Grill the Filet

   Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the filet mignon for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Mushroom Medley

   In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until translucent. Add the assorted mushrooms and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Make the Cognac Cream Sauce

   In the same skillet, add the cognac and cook for 1 minute to deglaze the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme, and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. 5

   Plate the Dish

   On each plate, serve a scoop of Tuscan mashed potatoes. Place the grilled filet mignon on top, spoon the mushroom medley over the steak, and drizzle with the cognac cream sauce.
