• Decadent Flavor: The rich garlic butter elevates the tender filet mignon.
• Easy to Prepare: Simple steps make it accessible for home cooks.
• Crispy Texture: Roasted baby potatoes add a delightful crunch.
• Impressive Presentation: A dish that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

• 2 (6-ounce) filet mignon steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

How to Make Filet Mignon with Garlic Butter and Roasted Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crispy.
3. While the potatoes are roasting, season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper.
4. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks to the skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
5. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
6. Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter over the top. Let them bask in the butter for about 2 minutes.
7. Serve the filet mignon alongside the crispy roasted potatoes, drizzling any remaining garlic butter over the steaks. Add lemon wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the filet mignon to come to room temperature before cooking for even doneness.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook the steaks in batches if needed to achieve a good sear.

Easy Variations

• Swap the baby potatoes for sweet potatoes or asparagus for a different veggie side.
• Add a splash of red wine to the skillet after searing the steak to create a pan sauce.
• Experiment with different herbs like oregano or parsley for the garlic butter.

What to Serve With It

• A crisp green salad with vinaigrette.
• Garlic bread or a warm baguette to soak up the garlic butter.
• A glass of rich red wine, like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.

Storage and Reheating

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. The potatoes can be reheated in the oven for crispiness.
