Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into equal-sized pieces, then boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, minced garlic, and milk. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steaks

    Sear the steaks in the hot skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the steak alongside a generous portion of garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
