Filet Mignon

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Rub each steak with olive oil and season generously with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F (230°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Steaks

    Place the seasoned steaks on the hot grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until your desired doneness is achieved.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks for uniform cooking.

  2. 7

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cut potatoes and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 8

    Cook the Garlic

    While the potatoes are boiling, peel and smash the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat and add the garlic. Cook gently for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it brown.

  4. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the garlic butter mixture, remaining butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  5. 10

    Serve

    Scoop the garlic mashed potatoes onto plates and serve alongside the grilled filet mignon.
