Finally! A new recipe! Sorry for slacking on you guys…things have been a little less hectic. How’s everyone doing with their Paleo living?
Filet Mignon with Mushroom Gravy
- 2 Filet Mignon
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 yellow onion, minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
Mushroom Gravy
- 2 TBSP grass-fed butter
- 3/4 C. Chicken Broth
- 3 oz. Coconut Milk or Light Cream (if you’re not Paleo)
- 1/2 yellow onion, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 C. sliced mushrooms (I used white, but you can use what you prefer)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
I would start with the gravy, depending on how you like your filet mignon cooked. Melt the butter in a small pot. Then put the garlic and onion in the pot, along with the chicken broth. When that comes to a boil, lower the heat and add the coconut milk/light cream. Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes or so, then add the sliced mushrooms. Keep covered and let simmer until your steaks are ready. If you want it a little bit thicker, in a separate bowl, you can add a TBSP of chicken broth to about a teaspoon of tapioca flour, combine well, then add to gravy.
For the filet mignon, melt butter in a hot pan, and heat up your garlic and onions. Season both sides of the filet mignon with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Place on the hot pan. I had thick cuts, so I cooked them about 10 minutes on each side on medium high heat.
Coconut and Toasted Almond Asparagus
- 1 lb. Asparagus
- 3 TBSP coconut oil
- 1/2 C. sliced almonds
Heat up coconut oil in a frying pan with a lid. When it’s hot, throw in the almonds to toast them for a few minutes. Then put your asparagus in. Cover the pan, and let it cook for a few minutes. When the asparagus starts to soften and brown on one side, flip them over until they brown a little on the other side.
This was delicious, and relatively easy to make. You can put the gravy on chicken or burgers, too!
