1
Season the Filet Mignon
Take the filet mignon pieces and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
3
Sear the Steak
Place the seasoned filet mignon in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4 minutes without moving them, until a golden-brown crust forms.
4
Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the steaks and add the fresh rosemary and butter to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steaks with melted butter.
5
Rest the Steaks
Remove the filet mignon from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

6
Prepare Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Boil peeled and chopped potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with butter, garlic, and cream until smooth.
7
Sauté Asparagus
In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add trimmed asparagus and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
