For the Truffle Mashed Potatoes:

-
1/4 cup milk (or heavy cream for creamier potatoes)
-
1 tablespoon truffle oil (or more to taste)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Roasted Mushrooms:
-
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Steamed Asparagus:
-
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
-
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Soft-Boiled Eggs:

2 large eggs
Instructions:
1. Cook the Filet Mignon:
-
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper.
-
Melt 2 tablespoons of garlic butter in a skillet or on the grill. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side (or longer for desired doneness), basting with garlic butter as you cook. Once done, remove from heat and let the steaks rest.
2. Make the Truffle Mashed Potatoes:
-
Boil the chopped potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender (about 10-15 minutes).
-
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with butter and milk (or heavy cream) until smooth and creamy.
-
Stir in truffle oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Roast the Mushrooms:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Toss the sliced mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and tender.
4. Steam the Asparagus:
-
Steam the asparagus until tender (about 4-5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Prepare the Soft-Boiled Eggs:
-
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and boil for about 4-5 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Remove the eggs and place them in an ice water bath for 2 minutes to stop cooking. Peel the eggs.
6. Assemble the Dish:
-
Serve the garlic butter filet mignon alongside the truffle mashed potatoes, roasted mushrooms, steamed asparagus, and soft-boiled eggs. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the steak.
Enjoy your luxurious meal of garlic butter filet mignon, truffle mashed potatoes, and all the delicious sides!
