Garlic Bread

Method

Main Dish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet

    Remove the filet from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Season the Filet

    Rub the filet with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Cook the Filet

    Place the filet on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precision (130°F for medium-rare).

  4. 4

    Rest the Filet

    Remove the filet from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Baked Potato

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potato

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the russet potato under running water and poke several holes in it with a fork.

  2. 6

    Bake the Potato

    Place the potato directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the inside is soft.

  3. 7

    Finish the Potato

    Remove the potato from the oven, slice it open, and add butter, sour cream, and chopped chives.

Side Salad

  1. 8

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 9

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Garlic Bread

  1. 10

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley until well combined.

  2. 11

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the French bread in half lengthwise. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides.

  3. 12

    Bake the Garlic Bread

    Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, until golden and toasted.
