Method

Cooking the Prime Filet

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fillet

    Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Add fresh herbs in the last minute of cooking.

  2. 2

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the fillets from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Making the Potato Pavé

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Slice the potatoes thinly and layer them in a baking dish. Mix melted butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and pour over the potatoes.

  2. 4

    Bake the Potatoes

    Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 5

    Cool and Slice

    Allow the pavé to cool slightly before slicing into squares.

Cooking the Carrots

  1. 6

    Prepare the Carrots

    Peel and cut the carrots into sticks. In a pan, melt butter and honey, then add carrots and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt.

Making the Mustard Jus

  1. 7

    Prepare the Jus

    In the same skillet used for the fillets, add red wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Add beef stock and Dijon mustard, then simmer until reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper.
