Instructions

Preheat oven to 400º.
Coat each fillet with the mushroom mixture. Pan sear or grill each fillet until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Place the steaks on a parchment lined sheet pan and set aside.
Bring a large pot filled three quarters full with water or chicken stock to a simmer. Add potatoes and cook for about 30 minutes. Heat up buttermilk in a pot and add butter. When potatoes are done, pour them into a colander and let them sit for about 5 minutes for excess liquid to evaporate. Place potatoes in a bowl and pour butter milk mixture over top. Mash with a masher or a big wooden spoon. Add green onions and salt and pepper.
Place meat in the oven and cook for about ten minutes.
Sautee green beans in a large skillet for about 2 minutes, add garlic and wine and cook for another 5 minutes.
Cut cherry tomatoes in half and place in a medium bowl. Add the five remaining ingredients and combine.
Plate individual servings, or serve on platters for a nice family style meal.
