1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin fries. Rinse them under cold water and dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
2
Fry the Potatoes
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with sea salt.
3
Cook the Filet Mignon
Season the filet mignon pieces generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. In a heated skillet, add olive oil and sear the filets for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
4
Plate the Dish
Place the filet mignon on a plate alongside the fries. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
