Some meals aren’t just dinner — they’re an experience ✨. That’s exactly what you get with the Filet Mignon at Morton’s Steakhouse. This isn’t just any cut of beef; it’s premium Midwest-sourced filet, cooked to perfection. The outside has that delicate sear that locks in flavor, while the inside stays incredibly tender — the kind of steak you can cut with a butter knife. Every bite feels like a reward.

Of course, the sides matter just as much as the star of the show. We started with the Szechuan Green Beans 🥢. Despite the name, these aren’t fiery or tongue-numbing. Instead, they’re fresh, crisp, and lightly seasoned — a clean, refreshing bite that balances the richness of the steak without overpowering it.

Then there’s the Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes ($14, 310 cal.) 🥔 — which is arguably the sleeper hit of the plate. They’re silky smooth, tangy from the sour cream, and absolutely perfect when you let them mingle with the steak’s savory sauce 😋. It’s comfort food with an upscale twist.

Finally, the Sautéed Spinach & Button Mushrooms bring a deep, earthy flavor to round out the meal. The spinach is tender and flavorful, while the mushrooms carry a bold, salty edge — just enough to make them addictive.

Together, this lineup is the definition of a well-balanced steakhouse dinner: a showstopping centerpiece, thoughtful accompaniments, and flavors that complement each other from first bite to last 🥂. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone 🎉 or simply treating yourself to a night out, Morton’s Filet Mignon with these sides is the kind of meal that reminds you why dining out can feel truly special.
