Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Add to a pot of salted boiling water and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

2. 2

   Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes

   In a small saucepan, melt 2 tbs of butter and add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant. Add heavy cream, remaining butter, and salt to the potatoes. Mash until smooth, then stir in the garlic mixture. Set aside.

   Cook the Filet Mignon

4. 4

   Prepare the Asparagus

   In the same skillet, add another 1 tbs of olive oil and the asparagus. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
