Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the filet mignon steaks with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
Once the skillet is hot, add the filet mignon steaks. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to achieve a golden crust.
Transfer the seared steaks to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Cook for about 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred level of doneness.
While the steaks are cooking, toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Place the asparagus in the oven alongside the steaks and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Remove the steaks and asparagus from the oven when each one is done. Sprinkle fresh herbs over the asparagus if desired.
Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced filet mignon alongside the roasted asparagus. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the asparagus for a zesty touch.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, you can marinate the steaks in your favorite herbs and spices before cooking. You can achieve a beautiful sear by ensuring the skillet is hot before adding the steaks. Do be sure to let the steaks rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute for optimal tenderness. Pair this dish with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal. Enjoy!
