Method

For the Filet

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Filet

    Rub both sides of the filet with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Grill the Filet

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the filet for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

For the Lemon Herb Butter

    Make the Lemon Herb Butter

    In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and set aside.

For the Grilled Asparagus

  1. 5

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Grill the Asparagus

    Place the asparagus on the grill alongside the filet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

For the Persillade Sauce

  1. 7

    Make the Persillade Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

To Serve

    Plate the Dish

    Place the grilled filet on a plate, top with a dollop of lemon herb butter, and arrange grilled asparagus on the side. Drizzle with persillade sauce before serving.
