Fast Recipe For Filet Mignon

If you love the taste of horseradish and aren’t afraid that it will say, “neigh” (get it? horse…neigh!), you simply must try this recipe. And if you find that it’s just “too hot to trot” (ha ha ha…got you again!), just try a Quarter Horse, uh…I mean a quarter of the horseradish and you’ll be pleased with the fiery taste.

HORSERADISH ENCRUSTED FILET MIGNON (serves 4)

Your Ingredients:

1/2-cup prepared horseradish, drained
2-tsp dried basil
2-tsp dried thyme
2-tsp garlic powder
1/2-tsp salt
1/2-tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 filet mignons (6-7 ounces each)
nonstick cooking spray


PLACE first 6 ingredients in a bowl and blend well.

PRESS mixture firmly into both sides of each filet.

COVER and refrigerate overnight.

PREHEAT oven to 425-degrees F.

COAT a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray and add filets to pan.

ROAST filets for about 18-20 minutes, or until nicely browned on the outside and just pink in the middle.

REMOVE filets from oven, cover pan with foil, and allow filets to rest for 10 minutes.

PLACE filets on a cutting board and slice diagonally, across the grain, into thin slices.

ARRANGE filet slices on top of sautéed spinach and serve on individual serving plates.

Note: I hope this winning recipe will get a “whinny” out of you! (sorry, I just couldn’t resist!)

Always Enjoy!
