Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the thinly cut potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, and chopped rosemary until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, add truffle butter to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the steaks.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.
- In the same skillet used for the steaks, add olive oil and sauté the shallots over medium heat until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the heavy cream and crushed black peppercorns, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
- Plate the filet mignon alongside a generous serving of rosemary-salted shoestring fries. Drizzle the savory peppercorn sauce over the steaks and serve immediately.
Notes
For variations, try adding garlic or Parmesan to the fries for extra flavor.
