Directions
Instructions:
1. Brown Butter Sage Filet:
a. Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
b. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook until they become crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove the sage leaves and set them aside.
c. In the same skillet, add the seasoned filet mignon steaks. Cook to your desired level of doneness (about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness). During the last minute of cooking, return the crispy sage leaves to the skillet and baste the steaks with the browned butter.
d. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
2. Sweet Potato Mash:
a. Place the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water. Cook until
tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain.
b. Mash the sweet potatoes with butter, milk (or cream), salt, black pepper, and
ground cinnamon (if using) until smooth and creamy.
3. Glazed Brussels Sprouts:
a. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels
sprouts and cook until they start to brown, about 5 minutes.
b. In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinegar and honey. Pour the mixture over the
Brussels sprouts and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
c. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Serve: Plate the brown butter sage filet alongside a generous spoonful of sweet potato mash and the glazed Brussel
