Eat Well: Baby Red Potato and Cheese Encrusted Filet Mignon with Baby Spinach, Pepper and Onion Side Salad

30 Minute Meal

30 Minute Meal

I came up with this earlier on a whim. I’ve been really enjoying cooking with red wine, and this is no exception. I like pairing a delicious wine with a nice cut of meat without breaking the bank. The hardest part about this whole thing is seasoning to taste.  This is for ONE (1) Person. If you want the recepie for more send me an e-mail and I’ll adjust it accordingly.

  • 1/2 Cup of Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 1/4lb – 1/2lb Filet Mignon
  • 1 tbsp of Goya Adobo (Salt, Garlic, Oregano, Black Pepper, Tumeric)
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • onion powder
  • paprika
  • 1 tbsp of Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp of Parsley Finely Chopped
  • 2 Baby Red Potatoes
  • 2 cups of Baby Spinach
  • Half of Green Bell Pepper Chopped
  • Half of Red Bell Pepper Chopped
  • 1/4th of Medium size Vidalia Onion Chopped
  • 1/4th cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil EVOO)
  • 1/4 cup of shredded Romano Cheese
  • 1/4 cup of Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 tbsp of Butter
Start by Mixing all of the spices together in a small bowl with a small amount of the EVOO. Rub mix onto meat and let sit anywhere between 15-minutes to 4-hours (the more the better).

Preheat oven to Broil.
Boil the potatoes for about 15 minutes or until soft. Remove potatoes and mash. Add salt and butter to taste.

Pour 1/4th cup of red wine into heated skillet and pan fry filet on each side for about 4 minutes on high heat. Mix a small amount of mash potatoes with cheese and add on top of filet for crust. Put filet on oven safe pan (metal or glass). Add more EVOO if needed, then broil for 10-25 minutes (15 minutes for Medium-Rare).

In the same frying pan as filet, insert bell peppers and onions add remaining EVOO and red wine, and let simmer for 10-15 minute, or until juices have soaked into the vegetables well. Serve vegetables on a bed of baby spinach.

Add  to plate remaining mash potatoes with Parsley and salt to taste, keep warm. Once done plate filet with mash potatoes and serve immediately, crust should be browning.

Serve with wine. ENjoy.
