Ingredients
  

  • 2 filet mignon
  • 3 tablespoons black truffle butter
  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley for topping

Instructions
 

  • OPTIONAL: Start by caramelizing the onions. Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 40 minutes, until the onions are caramelized and tender.
  • In a large skillet over high heat, melt the ghee until frothy and beginning to brown. Season the filets with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place the filets in the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 120°F for rare or 130°F for medium-rare. Lower the heat and add the truffle butter. Swirl the pan to mix the butters. Move the steaks to one side and tilt the pan so that the butters cover the steaks, or use a spoon to ladle the butter over the steaks, ensuring a golden brown crust forms.
  • Serve the filet mignon topped with the caramelized onions and on a bed of simple garlicky mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley, as desired. Enjoy!
