This is the easiest way to get the soft and tender filet mignon done perfectly.
The french call it ‘filet de bœuf’ and consider it one of the most desired cuts of beef.
The nicely caramelized garlic goes really well beside the steak, together with potato and carrot wedges and some broccoli plus a fine glass of red: Zinfandel or Primitivo.
Check the recipe below, watch the video, try to cook if yourself and of course let me know what you think 🙂
