Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Generously season the 8 oz filet mignon on both sides with salt and black pepper.

    Heat the Oil

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.

    Make the Steak Butter

    In a bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until well blended.

  2. 6

    Chill the Butter

    Transfer the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, form it into a log, and refrigerate until firm.

Starch Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Cook the mashed potatoes according to package instructions or prepare fresh mashed potatoes. Serve warm.
