Filet Mignon

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F to 500°F).

  3. 3

    Season the Steaks

    Rub the steaks with olive oil, and season generously with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.

  4. 4

    Grill the Steaks

    Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a large pot of salted water.

  2. 7

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the pot to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 8

    Cook the Garlic

    While the potatoes are boiling, peel and crush the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic, remaining butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  5. 10

    Serve

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