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.

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!

No brandy, so used port instead, as well as bottled minced garlic. Oh, so good.....Timing was perfect, could have even used more pepper. Served with new potatoes as well as the asparagus along with onion and red & orange bells.
