Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the filet mignon on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 3

    Make the Madeira Sauce

    In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in Madeira wine and beef stock, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Stir in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Haricot Verts

    Blanch haricot verts in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the mashed potatoes, top with the grilled filet mignon, drizzle with Madeira sauce, and serve with seasoned haricot verts. Garnish with chopped parsley.
