Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Take the filet mignon pieces out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes for even cooking. Preheat the grill to high heat.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  3. 3

    Grill the Filet Mignon

    Place the seasoned filet mignon on the hot grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your preferred doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Sides Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Black Beans

    Rinse the black beans under cold water. If using canned beans, heat them in a small pot over medium heat until warmed through.

  3. 7

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
