Filet Mignon

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt.

  2. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 6

    Cook the Garlic

    While the potatoes are cooking, peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the garlic and gently sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it brown.

  4. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic, remaining butter, and heavy cream. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
