Ingredients for 2

  • (2) Filet Mingon steaks

  • (1) bottle Major Grey’s Mango Chutney

  • Baby spinach (2) handfuls

  • (3) Russet potatoes (large)

  • 1/2 C Buttermilk

  • 1/4 Heavy cream

  • Peppercorn (whole, to be lightly crushed)

  • 1/4 t white pepper

  • 3/4 t kosher or sea salt

Directions

  • Step 1

    In boiling water, blanch small handfuls of baby spinach. 15 seconds.

  • Step 2

    Boil potatoes for mashing. Drain, mash, then add buttermilk (warm), heavy cream (warm), salt, white pepper. Mix until fluffy.

  • Step 3

    Season Filet Mignon with salt and coarse pepper. Vacuum seal and place in water bath with your SV device set to 131 deg for 3 hours. CHEF’S NOTE: at this temperature and time the filets came out closer to medium but were juicy and beautifully tender. Adjust temp and time to your personal preference.

  • Step 4

    Remove filets from bath, pat down with paper towel to remove liquid from entire steak surface. Take lightly crush peppercorns and smash onto filet top and bottom. Prepare a cast iron or carbon steel pan for searing. I used avocado oil then added butter to spoon over meat. You want the butter to brown but not burn, mixing with avocado oil (high smokepoint) helps a lot.
