Mashed Potatoes

Method

Filet Mignon Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides liberally with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the filet mignon and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adding butter, garlic, and herbs during the last minute for flavor.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Remove from heat and let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter and milk to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasonal vegetables and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
