PAN ROASTED FILET MIGNON WITH ASPARAGUS SEA BASS WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER PUREE
Steps:
- In a small pot, over medium-low heat, add the vinegar and brown sugar, and whisk to combine. Cook and reduce until thick, about the consistency of maple syrup. Whisk in 2 tablespoons butter and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve drizzled over filet mignon and asparagus.
- For Filet and Asparagus:
- Slice the bottom 1 1/2 inches off the asparagus. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and blanch for 1 minute. Remove from the water and shock in an ice bath. Transfer the asparagus from the ice bath to a sheet pan lined with a paper towel.
- Take the filets out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before they are to be cooked so they can come to temperature.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Heat canola oil in a large heavy bottomed skilled over high heat. Season each filet liberally with salt and pepper. Sear the filets in the skillet until brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Turn the heat to low and add the 4 tablespoons of butter, the garlic and fresh thyme. Using a spoon, baste the filets with the melted butter. Put the pan in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare or until the internal temperature reaches 130 to 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until heated through, about 2 minutes. Asparagus should be slightly tender but still have a little snap when you bite into them.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To a large baking dish add the cauliflower, apple, and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Roast in oven until brown on top, about 25 minutes, then add the vegetable stock and roast until tender, another 20 minutes.
- Add the roasted cauliflower, apple and stock to a food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to a metal bowl and put over a pot of simmering water to keep warm.
- Turn oven down to 325 degrees F.
- Heat some canola oil in a large heavy bottomed skilled over high heat. Season each fillet liberally with salt and pepper. Sear the fillets, skin side down, until brown and crispy, turn over and crisp the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Turn off the heat, add butter and, using a spoon, baste the fillets with the melted butter. Transfer to the oven to finish cooking, about 4 minutes.
- Beurre Blanc Sauce:
- Slice the green leaves off the leek and discard. Slice the stem into 1/4-inch thick rings. Put them into a large bowl filled with cold water and let soak for 5 minutes. Remove the leaks and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white wine and add the vegetable stock. Reduce by half and then whisk in the cold butter. Serve over sea bass.
- To Plate:
- Using a rectangular plate lay a bed of 3 to 4 asparagus down on 1 side of the plate. Arrange a piece of filet mignon on top and drizzle with the balsamic reduction. On the other side of the plate put about a 1/4 cup of the cauliflower puree, top with a piece of sea bass and drizzle with the leek sauce. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a total of 6 servings.

Steps:
- 1. Boil the wine, vinegar, shallots and one tablespoon of tarragon in a small, heavy saucepan until the liquid is reduced to two tablespoons. Then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve set into a medium metal bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. 2. Whisk the yolks into the vinegar mixture, and then set the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the yolks have thickened slightly (do not scramble them). Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has melted completely. (Note: have your butter ready next to you so you don't accidentally overcook the eggs). 3. Remove it from the heat, and whisk in the lemon juice, remaining tablespoon tarragon, about 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). 4. Transfer the sauce to a smaller glass bowl, and place it into a saucepan that has boiling hot water in it. Cover it with a lid. This keeps the sauce warm while you grill or roast the filet mignon and roast the asparagus. 5. For the filet mignon, season each steak with kosher salt. If you are roasting the filets in a roasting pan or ovenproof frying pan, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil. When the filets are hot, sear them on all sides until they become golden brown. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast them for seven to eight minutes, turning the filets over after three to four minutes. 6. If you are grilling the filets, grill them over hot coals for about eight minutes per side (five minutes per side for rare). 7. To cook the asparagus, begin by preheating the oven to 400 °. 8. Snap or cut the dry stem ends off each asparagus, and place them on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on them, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and toss them. Roast the asparagus until it is tender, which will take about eight to ten minutes, depending on how thick your asparagus is. Cool it slightly, and serve it warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Select a well-marbled and tender cut of filet mignon, medium-sized potatoes for even roasting, and fresh asparagus with tightly closed tips. Use unsalted butter for a richer flavor and freshly ground black pepper for a more intense aroma.
- Preheat your oven and cooking pan: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before roasting the potatoes and asparagus. Heating the pan over medium-high heat will help sear the filet mignon and create a flavorful crust.
- Season the filet mignon liberally: Generously season the filet mignon with salt and pepper before searing. This will help enhance the natural flavors of the meat.
- Sear the filet mignon in a hot pan: Sear the filet mignon in a hot pan with butter for a few minutes per side. This will create a flavorful crust and help lock in the juices.
- Roast the potatoes and asparagus: Toss the potatoes and asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven until tender and slightly browned.
- Let the filet mignon rest: After searing, let the filet mignon rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and result in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve immediately: Serve the filet mignon, roasted potatoes, and asparagus while they are hot. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added flavor and visual appeal.
