Filet Mignon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onion Straws

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dredge the thinly sliced onions in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Fry the onions in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filet Mignon

    Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, create a bed of crispy onion straws. Place the seared filet mignon on top. Drizzle with zip sauce and serve immediately.
