Filet Mignon

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparing the Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Season the Steaks

    Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steaks

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned filet mignon steaks. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Flavor

    In the last minute of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic cloves, and a sprig of rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks to baste them for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting milk for desired consistency.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and place the sliced filet mignon on top. Drizzle with any leftover pan juices from the skillet.
