Filet Mignon

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil, and season generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned filet mignon to the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a brown crust forms.

  4. 4

    Flip and Add Butter

    Flip the steak using tongs, add the butter and rosemary to the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the melted butter.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Drain and Mash

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher until smooth.

  3. 8

    Add Butter and Milk

    Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Stir until well combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Spoon the mashed potatoes onto a plate and serve alongside the rested filet mignon.
