Very good, and I will definately make this again! I used fresh ground pepper, and would reduce the amount a little - it was a little too spicy at times (and I love spicy and pepper)! I used brandy, and served it with twice baked potatoes. Served with a red zin - perfect!
Spiced Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon with Asparagus
Randy Mayor; Melanie J. Clarke
Garlic, a few spices, olive oil and a splash of brandy is all you really need to take Filet Mignon from really good to really great. The Asparagus will cook beautifully in the same pan as the steak, while soaking up all those delicious flavors.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 steak and 3 ounces asparagus)
