This Ruth’s Chris–inspired Filet Mignon with Spinach Rockefeller Topper brings classic steakhouse elegance straight to your home kitchen. Tender, buttery filet mignon is cooked to perfection, then crowned with a rich, creamy spinach Rockefeller topping that adds indulgence without overpowering the steak.
The filet mignon is treated simply and respectfully, allowing its natural tenderness and beefy flavor to shine. A high-heat sear creates a beautifully caramelized crust, while a quick oven finish ensures a juicy, melt-in-your-mouth interior worthy of a fine dining experience.
The Spinach Rockefeller topper elevates this dish to true steakhouse status. Creamy, savory, and layered with garlic, shallots, Parmesan, and a touch of nutmeg, it delivers depth and richness while complementing the steak rather than competing with it.
This dish is perfect for special occasions, romantic dinners, or anytime you want to recreate a luxury restaurant meal at home. Paired with a simple side and a glass of wine, it delivers an unforgettable dining experience.
