Filet Mignon

Mashed Potatoes

Asparagus

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the filet mignons out of the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Season both sides of the filet mignon generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Add the filet mignons to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Flavors

    During the last minute of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic, and thyme to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks to enhance flavor.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

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

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash them until smooth.

  3. 9

    Add Ingredients

    Stir in butter, milk, salt, and black pepper until creamy and well-combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Asparagus

  1. 10

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends.

  2. 11

    Season and Roast

    In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.

  3. 12

    Roast the Asparagus

    Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
