Main Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Filet Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Season the Meat

    Pat the filet tenderloins dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the meat. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Filet

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the filet tenderloins. Sear the meat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a nice golden crust forms.

  3. 3

    Add Butter and Herbs

    Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and rosemary sprigs to the pan. As the butter melts, spoon it over the filets for another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the filets from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes.

Preparing Accompaniments

  1. 5

    Prepare Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or roast them at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-12 minutes until tender.

  2. 6

    Sauté Cherry Tomatoes

    In the same skillet used for the filets, add the cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes blister and soften.

  3. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a large plate, arrange the asparagus on one side. Place the filet tenderloin in the center and top with sautéed cherry tomatoes. Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese.
