I only season my filet mignon with salt and fresh ground pepper. Those are the only seasoning ingredients that you will need for the meat. To make this dish interesting, I used fresh cauliflower florets in a warm salad. My inspiration came from the chicken piccata that I made a while back. I added capers and lemon peel, then came up with whatever ingredients I had in my fridge/pantry and BAMMM, my new recipe was born. Category: Entrée Approx.
