Ingredients:

• 2 (6 oz) filet mignon steaks
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)
• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 2 cups green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons butter (for green beans)
• Salt and pepper (for green beans)

Instructions:

1. Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
5. Add the butter and crushed garlic to the skillet. If using, add fresh rosemary or thyme. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for added flavor.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
7. While the steaks are in the oven, prepare the mashed potatoes according to your preferred recipe or package instructions.
8. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the trimmed green beans. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and toss with butter, salt, and pepper.
9. Once the steaks are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
10. Serve the filet mignon alongside the mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete meal.
