This special-occasion meal is composed of porcini-crusted filet mignon, pan-roasted and topped with gorgonzola garlic butter. The remaining steak was then transformed into sandwiches on homemade potato rolls (made from leftover chard-laced mashers), smeared with the same compound butter and topped with caramelized onion.
