Filet Mignon and Sides

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper. Wrap each steak with two slices of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steaks

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the wrapped steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 3

    Make the Madeira Sauce

    In the same pan, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until aromatic. Pour in the Madeira wine and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add fresh thyme, and let the sauce simmer until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    In another pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add potato wedges and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt.

  5. 5

    Prepare Fresh Vegetables

    Blanch the fresh vegetables in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the filet mignon with Madeira sauce drizzled on top, alongside the fried potatoes and fresh vegetables.
