Filet Mignon with Smoky Rosemary Potatoes and Asparagus

From the recipe box “Tea” licious recipes by Quinn Losselyong

Ingredients

	2	filet mignons to the size of your choosing (we got ours at New Seasons)
	8	fingerling potatoes
	12	or so asparagus spears (ends chopped off)
	2	nice sized rosemary twigs (if living in Portland, you can most likely find it in your front yard)
	2	tsp. of Foxfire Teas Lapsang Souchong black tea (ground to a powder in grinder)
	4 to 6	tsp. of Extra Virgin Organic Tea Seed Oil
	~	some good tasty salt and fresh ground black pepper

Steps

Venture outside to your front or back yard and politely ask your rosemary plant if it could spare a twig or two. If it says yes, snap two, nice sized thick twigs from the plant (about 12 inches long). Bring inside and rinse off.
Preheat gas grill on Med-High heat
Take filets out of package and let chill out at room temp for a bit
Wash asparagus and fingerlings and pat excess water off
Grab a large flat pan that can hold all the ingredients and place them all on the pan
Take the rosemary and strip off ⅔ of the fragrant leaves (chop up finely and reserve for later)
Take a knife and sharpen the end of the rosemary twig so it resembles a skewer
Thread 4 fingerlings on each rosemary skewer
Drizzle potatoes with tea seed oil, chopped rosemary, salt, pepper and ⅔ of the ground lapsang souchong (make sure you coat them completely and set aside)
Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and dust with salt and pepper
Salt and pepper the the filets to taste
Put remainder of Lapsang Souchong on the filet as well
Make a cocktail, grab the pan with all the goodies on it, and head out to the grill
Place potato rosemary skewers on grill, let cook for 20 minutes or so depending on size (turning occasionally) With 10 minutes remaining on the potatoes, place filets and asparagus on grill (I like to cook my filets for 5-6 minutes per side)
Remove everything and let the filet rest for 5-10 minutes
Now it is time to dig in to this delicious meal
