Filet Mignon

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. This will help them cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle fresh rosemary on both sides.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steaks

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, until a nice crust forms.

  4. 4

    Flip and Add Butter

    Flip the steaks over and add butter to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steaks with the melted butter.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

  2. 7

    Boil the Potatoes

    Add 1 tsp of salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

  3. 8

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until smooth.

  4. 9

    Add Butter and Cream

    Add 4 tbs of butter and 1 cup of heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until creamy.

  5. 10

    Season to Taste

    Add salt and black pepper to the mashed potatoes to taste, mixing until fully incorporated.
