Filet Mignon and Shrimp - The Toasty Kitchen

Ingredients

  • 2 Filet Mignon steaks (about 6-8 oz each)
  • 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning your filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time if you prefer it more or less cooked.
  3. In the last couple of minutes of cooking, add 1 tablespoon of butter and half the minced garlic to the pan. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks to keep them juicy and flavorful.
  4. Once the steaks are done, transfer them to a plate and cover them loosely with foil to rest while you cook the shrimp.
  5. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Toss in the rest of the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  7. Now it’s time to plate up! Serve the filet mignon alongside the shrimp and drizzle any extra garlic butter from the pan over the top. Finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for that pop of color and flavor.

And there you have it: a classic dish that never goes out of style. Perfect for a date night or just treating yourself after a long week. Get in that kitchen and enjoy every bite!
