(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 4 fl. oz. Light Cream
  • 2 Russet Potatoes
  • 8 oz. Green Beans
  • 2 Filets Mignon
  • 1 Tbsp. Mesquite Seasoning
  • 1 oz. Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray.

  2. Peel and cut potatoes into 1" dice. Trim ends off green beans. Pat filets mignon dry, and season both sides with mesquite seasoning.

  3. Bring a medium pot with diced potatoes covered by water to a boil. Cook until tender, 18-20 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander. Return to pot and add cheese, ¼ the cream (reserve remaining for adjusting consistency and sauce), ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Mash until smooth, adding remaining cream 1 Tbsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached. Do not to use more than half the cream total, as half is needed for sauce. While potatoes cook, roast green beans.

  4. Place green beans on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer and roast 6 minutes. Remove from oven. Green beans will finish cooking in a later step. While green beans roast, place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add steaks to hot pan and sear until browned, 2 minutes per side. Remove pan from burner.

  5. Transfer steaks to baking sheet with green beans, moving beans to one side to make room. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean. Roast until beans are tender and steaks reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 6-8 minutes. Rest steaks at least 3 minutes. While steaks rest, make sauce.

  6. Pour remaining cream and accumulated juices from resting steaks into pan used to sear steaks. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly until smooth and a line can be drawn in sauce, 1-2 minutes. Remove from burner. Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing steaks with sauce. Bon appétit!
