Marry Me Filet Mignon & Orzo
Ingredients
2 pounds filet mignon roast
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Fresh chopped herbs- rosemary, thyme and parsley
4 tablespoons butter
2-3 garlic cloves minced
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes in oil
1 1/4 cups orzo
2-3 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup heavy cream
4 oz spinach
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Directions
Rub the filet with olive oil, salt pepper and herbs. Sear in a cast iron skillet until browned all over. Transfer the skillet to a 425 degree oven. Roast for about 25-30 for medium rare, or until cooked to your desired temperature. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Add the butter to the skillet and when melted and the garlic. When the garlic sizzles add the sun dried tomatoes and stir to combine.
Add the orzo and stir until well coated. Start adding the chicken broth a little at a time until the orzo is almost tender. Stir in the Italian seasoning. Add the cream and season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan.
Slice the filet thinly and plate over the orzo.
