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 come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the steaks

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

  3. 3

    Sear the steaks

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned filet mignon steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add butter

    In the last minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter.

  5. 5

    Rest the steaks

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil the potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Boil until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Cook the garlic

    In the last 5 minutes of boiling, add the garlic cloves to the pot with the potatoes.

  3. 8

    Drain and mash

    Once the potatoes and garlic are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash until smooth.

  4. 9

    Add cream and butter

    Add butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Stir well until creamy and smooth.

  5. 10

    Season

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
