Ingredients

• 2 filet mignon steaks (6-8 ounces each)
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter (for finishing the steak)

How to Make Grilled Filet Mignon with Roasted Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
4. While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the filet mignon. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes. This helps achieve an even cook.
5. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the steaks with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
6. Once the grill is hot, place the filet mignon on it. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare (adjust time based on your preferred doneness).
7. During the last minute of grilling, add a tablespoon of butter on top of each steak to melt and baste the meat.
8. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
9. Serve the grilled filet mignon alongside the crispy roasted potatoes.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
• Let the steaks rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
• For extra flavor, marinate the steaks in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before grilling.

Easy Variations

• Swap baby potatoes for sweet potatoes or fingerling potatoes for a different flavor profile.
• Experiment with herbs by adding fresh parsley or dill to the potatoes.
• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the potato mixture before roasting.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette.
• Steamed asparagus or green beans for a pop of color.
• A glass of red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
