1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2
Mash the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, minced garlic, and mash until smooth. Stir in chopped chives and season with salt to taste. Keep warm.
3
Prepare the Steak
Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
4
Cook the Steak
Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks to the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
5
Serve
Plate the filet mignon alongside a generous serving of garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy your delicious meal!
