Grilled Filet Mignon

Rosemary Whipped Potatoes

Fried Onion Straws

French Green Beans

Gorgonzola Butter

Red Wine Demi-Glace

Method

Grilled Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Drizzle olive oil over the steaks and rub it in to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steaks

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your preferred doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Rosemary Whipped Potatoes

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the russet potatoes into even chunks. In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Whip the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, chopped rosemary, and salt. Using a potato masher or mixer, whip the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Fried Onion Straws

  1. 5

    Soak the Onions

    In a bowl, soak the thinly sliced onions in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Batter

    In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 7

    Fry the Onions

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dredge the soaked onions in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

French Green Beans

  1. 8

    Blanch the Green Beans

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the French green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath.

  2. 9

    Sauté the Green Beans

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the drained green beans, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Gorgonzola Butter

  1. 10

    Prepare the Gorgonzola Butter

    In a small bowl, mix together softened butter and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese until well combined. Set aside.

Red Wine Demi-Glace

  1. 11

    Cook the Demi-Glace

    In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and sauté until translucent. Pour in red wine and beef stock, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 15-20 minutes.
