Preparation

• To prepare the dressing, whisk all ingredients together and set aside.
• To make the salad, season the filet with salt and pepper and stear in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until medium rare. Let the meat rest for a few minutes, then slice on the bias and toss with 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing.
