Oh honey, let me tell you about this mouthwatering recipe that’s going to make your family think you’ve secretly enrolled in culinary school! This Pan-Seared Filet Mignon with Garlic Herb Butter and Roasted Asparagus is literally what dreams are made of. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you later!
Listen up, because I’m about to spill the tea on how to create this restaurant-worthy dish right in your kitchen (and save yourself a small fortune while you’re at it!).
What You’ll Need (serves 4):
– 4 filet mignon steaks (about 6 oz each)
– 8 tablespoons butter (yes, that much – we’re not counting calories today!)
– 6 garlic cloves, minced
– Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and parsley)
– 1 bunch asparagus
– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper
– A glass of wine (for cooking… and maybe one for yourself 😉)
Okay queens and kings, here’s how we’re gonna make magic happen:
1. First things first – take those steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Nobody likes a cold steak! Season generously with salt and pepper.
1. While we’re waiting, let’s make that heavenly garlic herb butter. Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a small pan, add minced garlic, and finely chopped herbs. Set aside and try not to eat it all with a spoon (been there, done that!).

1. Heat a cast-iron skillet until it’s smoking hot. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and sear those beautiful steaks for 4-5 minutes each side for medium-rare. Baste with butter as they cook – it’s all in the details, honey!
1. For the asparagus, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until tender-crisp.
1. Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes (I know it’s hard to wait, but trust your girl on this one), then drizzle with that magical garlic herb butter.
Serve this beauty with the roasted asparagus, and watch as your dinner guests pick their jaws up off the floor. The steak should be perfectly pink inside – if anyone asks for well-done, we’re gonna have words! 🙄
Real talk: This recipe is fool-proof, but the key is using quality ingredients and showing them some love. And remember, cooking is all about confidence – strut around that kitchen like you own it!
