Delicate sauces and exotic flavors are fine, but when it’s a special occasion, we want flavors we can be sure of. This meal is full of classic combinations delightfully put together, starting with the combination of filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and asparagus, a trio often found at your best steakhouses.
