Filet Mignon

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Rub the steaks with olive oil, and season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F (232°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Steaks

    Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Butter

    During the last minute of grilling, add a tablespoon of butter on each steak and close the grill lid to melt the butter.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steaks

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

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil.

  2. 8

    Cook the Potatoes

    Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

  3. 9

    Mince the Garlic

    While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

  4. 10

    Drain and Mash

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the minced garlic, butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 11

    Mash the Potatoes

    Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
