Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    In the same skillet, add the French fries and cook according to package instructions or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the filet mignon alongside the French fries. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with Bearnaise sauce on the side.
