Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into equal-sized pieces. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Cream

    Mince the garlic and add it to the potatoes along with butter and heavy cream. Mash until smooth, adding more cream if necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Wrap Asparagus with Bacon

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Take the asparagus and wrap each stalk with a slice of bacon. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Roast the Asparagus

    Roast the bacon-wrapped asparagus in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.

  5. 5

    Cook the Filet Mignon

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the filet with salt and black pepper. Sear the filet for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the filet mignon alongside a generous serving of garlic mashed potatoes and top with the bacon-wrapped asparagus. Enjoy your Filet Friday!
