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