Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Filet

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the filet in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    While the filet is cooking, prepare your sauce of choice. For red wine reduction, simmer red wine in a saucepan until thickened. For garlic butter, melt butter in a pan and add minced garlic.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sides

    Prepare your side dishes. Boil potatoes for mashed potatoes until soft, then mash and season. Steam asparagus until tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place the filet on a plate, add your choice of sauce, and serve with mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus.
