Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

2. 2

   Make Potato Puree

   Mash the potatoes with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt to taste. Keep warm.

3. 3

   Prepare the Asparagus

   Trim the ends off the asparagus. Blanch in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

4. 4

   Cook the Filet Mignon

   Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the filet for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and let rest.

5. 5

   Make the Peppercorn Sauce

   In the same skillet, add the beef broth and crushed peppercorns, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream, simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   On each plate, place a scoop of potato puree, the seared filet mignon, and the asparagus. Drizzle with peppercorn sauce and enjoy.
