Filet Mignon

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Filet Mignon Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Filet

    Rub the filet mignon with olive oil and season generously with Cajun seasoning on all sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filet

    In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, sear the seasoned filet mignon for about 4 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Serve with Chimichurri

    Remove the filet from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving with a generous spoonful of chimichurri sauce on top.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

  2. 5

    Cook the Garlic

    In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl. Add the sautéed garlic, remaining butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and smooth.

Seasonal Side Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and trim the seasonal vegetables. In a bowl, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 8

    Roast the Vegetables

    Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
