Filetto Di Manzo Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Filet Mignon

   Start by bringing the filet mignon to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Sear the Steak

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the filet mignon. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

3. 3

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

4. 4

   Prepare the Whipped Potatoes

   In a pot, boil peeled and diced potatoes until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and return to the pot. Add butter, salt, and a splash of cream (if desired) and whip until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Cook the Farmer's Vegetables

   In the same skillet used for the filet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and sauté the farmer's vegetables over medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

6. 6

   Plate the Dish

   On a warm plate, place a generous scoop of whipped potatoes, top with the seared filet mignon, and arrange the sautéed farmer's vegetables alongside. Drizzle the bordelaise sauce over the filet.

7. 7

   Serve
