Method

Filet Mignon Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a skillet over high heat and add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the filet mignon. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time to your preference. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Seasonal Veggies Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Veggies

    Wash and trim the asparagus. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.

  2. 8

    Sauté the Veggies

    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add asparagus and carrots, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.
