Filet Mignon

Horseradish Mashed Potatoes

Asparagus

Demi Glaze

Confit Tomato Butter

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Season both filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steaks

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Horseradish Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

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

Asparagus

  1. 6

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Roast the Asparagus

    Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until tender.

Demi Glaze

  1. 8

    Sauté the Shallots

    In the same skillet used for the steaks, add shallots and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.

  2. 9

    Add Stock and Wine

    Pour in beef stock and red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Simmer until reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 10

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in butter until melted and the sauce is glossy. Season with salt to taste.

Confit Tomato Butter

  1. 11

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and salt. Cook gently until tomatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.

  2. 12

    Finish the Butter

    Stir in fresh basil and remove from heat. Blend the mixture for a smoother texture, if desired.
