Filet Mignon

Wild Mushroom Risotto

Seared Jumbo Asparagus

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steaks

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Add butter to the pan during the last minute for extra flavor.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steaks

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

Wild Mushroom Risotto

  1. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 5

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the wild mushrooms to the saucepan and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add the Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly translucent.

  4. 7

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine and stir until fully absorbed.

  5. 8

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Continue until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 20-25 minutes.

  6. 9

    Finish the Risotto

    Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
