Cocoa Filet Mignon with Creamy Cauliflower

  • 2 filet mignon (6 oz each)

  • 2 tsp olive oil

    • Cocoa Crust

  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder

  • 1 Tbsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

  • 1 Tbsp sugar

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

  • 1 Tbsp margarine

    • Cocoa Filet Mignon

    Coat both sides of each filet with the cocoa crust mixture thoroughly. Pan sear each side of the filet for 60 seconds in olive oil (optional). Transfer filet to a baking dish and roast in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the filet reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees. Let the filet rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to cook fully.

    Transfer cauliflower to a blender, adding salt and white pepper and reserved liquid. Purée until fluffy. Add margarine to taste.
