Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

   Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

2. 2

   Mix in the Flavorings

   Add the butter, minced shallots, and grated Parmesan cheese to the potatoes. Mash until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Cook the Filet Mignon

   Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let rest.

4. 4

   Grill the Asparagus

   Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

5. 5

   Make the Red Wine Demi-Glace

   In the same skillet used for the steaks, add red wine and beef stock. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in fresh thyme.

6. 6

   Serve

   Plate the filet mignon alongside the Parmesan & shallot mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Drizzle the red wine demi-glace over the steak.
