Ingredients:

  • 4 filet mignon steaks, about 6 ounces each
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 medium gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. For the filet mignon, season each steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Pour in the brandy and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. For the parmesan hassleback golds, wash and dry the potatoes. Cut slits into the potatoes, about 1/8 inch apart, being careful not to cut all the way through. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. Roast in the preheated oven until tender and golden brown, about 40 minutes.
  5. For the slightly burnt Brussels sprouts, trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or wilted leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and cook until they are browned and slightly burnt, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. To serve, spoon the brandy mushroom cream sauce over the filet mignon steaks and serve with the parmesan hassleback golds and slightly burnt Brussels sprouts on the side. Enjoy!
