Method

Main Dish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Sprinkle both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper evenly.

  3. 3

    Sear the Filet

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon to the skillet.

  4. 4

    Add Aromatics

    Add the crushed garlic cloves and rosemary to the skillet with the filet mignon.

  5. 5

    Cook the Filet

    Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your desired doneness. Baste the meat with the olive oil and juices in the pan while cooking.

  6. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Sides

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil.

  2. 8

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.

  3. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add milk and butter to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and cheese if desired.

  4. 10

    Prepare the Asparagus

    In a separate pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender.
