One-pan meals don’t get more elegant and simple than this dish that maximizes flavor at every step. Brown butter and rosemary flavor the steaks and roasted carrots.
Even the Brussels sprouts and peas get a quick sauté in the same skillet at the end while the filets rest.
Ingredients
- 2 ea ButcherBox Filet Mignons
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 4 cloves garlic smashed

- Individually plate filet with vegetables or serve family style. Drizzle remaining brown butter on each plate or over the filets if serving family style.
Notes
For Grain-Finished Filet Mignon:
Increase the cook time by 2-3 minutes in general to achieve the desired results. The tenderloin steak for grain finished is 2 ounces larger than it's grass fed equivalent. That, combined with more intramuscular fat in the grain finished beef means they will need to cook these steaks slightly longer.
