Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin, even slices. Arrange the potato slices in a lattice pattern on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crispy. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
- While the fries are baking, season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped tarragon and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the seasoned steaks to the skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.
- In the same skillet used for the steaks, add the olive oil and chopped shallot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the shallots are translucent. Stir in the crushed peppercorns and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste.
- Slice the filet mignon and place it on a plate. Drizzle with the creamy peppercorn sauce. Serve alongside the garlic-Parmesan lattice fries, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the filet mignon for a few hours before cooking. Adjust the seasoning to personal taste.
