For the Filet Mignon

For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparing the Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Season the Steaks

    Rub the filet mignon steaks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steaks

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until a nice crust forms.

  3. 3

    Flip and Add Butter

    Flip the steaks and add the butter and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steaks with the melted butter.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Preparing the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Cook the Garlic

    In the last 5 minutes of the potatoes boiling, add the garlic cloves to the pot. Drain the potatoes and garlic once cooked.

  3. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Return the drained potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add butter and milk, mashing until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Spoon the garlic mashed potatoes onto plates and serve alongside the filet mignon.
