Filet Mignon* Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Compound Butter

   In a bowl, mix together softened butter, minced garlic, and fresh herbs. Shape into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm.

2. 2

   Cook the Potatoes

   Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with milk, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.

3. 3

   Grill the Filet Mignon

   Preheat the grill to medium-high. Brush the filets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill the filets for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest.

4. 4

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add seasonal vegetables and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Make the Carrot Puree

   In a saucepan, combine chopped carrots and vegetable broth. Simmer until carrots are tender, about 15 minutes. Puree in a blender until smooth, adding more broth if necessary.

6. 6

   Plate the Dish

   On each plate, place a scoop of mashed potatoes, top with the grilled filet mignon, a dollop of compound butter, sautéed vegetables on the side, and a drizzle of carrot puree garnish.
