"Something sophisticated and very tasty to serve on a special occasion"

Ingredients

  • beef filet mignon - 2 steaks (480 g approximately)
  • foie gras - 5.3 oz (150 g) fresh
  • olive oil - 3 tbsp.
  • coarse flaky salt
  • asparagus - 6 pcs.
  • zucchini - 7 oz (200 g)
measures

How to make

Clean the asparagus and blanch briefly in boiling water. Cut the zucchini into circles.

Fry the two vegetables in a heated pan with a spoonful of olive oil. As soon as they aquire an appetizing color, remove and wrap them in foil, in order to keep them warm. This will be our garnish.

Turn on the oven to heat up to 430°F (220°C), upper and lower resistor wire. Start with the meat shortly before it reaches the required temperature.

If your beef isn't sliced, do so using a sharp, smooth (non-serrated) knife, by preheating it, by immersing it in boiling water and then patting it dry. This will help the cut to be perfectly smooth. The thickness of the steaks should be 2″ (4.5 cm). They should be at room temperature, because the cold meat would remain tough!

Heat a pan with a spoonful of olive oil over high heat (required) and sear the meat for 2 minutes on each side. One of the secrets to keep it as tender as possible is not to turn it several times and only after the two minutes have passed, turn it over to cook the other side for the same amount of time. Do not salt it at all, we will do this only at the end, when it is completely ready.

Prepare the goose liver cut into slices (so that it does not fall apart and is easy to cut, it should be cold, just taken out of the refrigerator).

Put the meat in a baking pan and put the foie gras on it. Drizzle with the third tablespoon of olive oil.

Place immediately in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes. Here it is already a matter of taste and if you do not like rare meat, which is most suitable for this meat, then increase the time of its heat treatment in the oven a little, but be careful - well cooked beef loses all its taste qualities and tenderness.

Garnish the finished filet mignon with the zucchini and asparagus and only then sprinkle with coarse flaky salt. Serve immediately and consume warm!

Very elegant and suitable for sophisticated occasions! To really delight your guests and achieve the desired result, follow the recommendations in the recipe and last but not least, use fresh and high-quality meat.

Enjoy and good luck!
