Ingredients:

Serving

1 piece filet mignon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground cumin
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper , to taste
extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 cup papaya, peeled, pitted and diced
1 serrano pepper, minced
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves , plus more for garnish
1/2 cup pepitas, toasted
fresh mint leaves, chopped, for garnish
serrano-mint-cilantro chutney, recipe follows
2 bunches fresh cilantro
5 sprigs fresh mint
2 serrano peppers
2 tbsp greek yogurt or creme fraiche
extra-virgin olive oil, enough for desired consistency
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper , to taste

Directions:

Rub the beef filet with allspice, cumin, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the papaya, serrano, avocado, lime juice, and cilantro. Season the salsa with salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in an oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the filet on both sides, about 1 minute on each side. Place the pan in the oven and cook about 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 140 to 145 degrees F for medium. Remove the beef from the oven and allow the meat to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
To serve, toss the pepitas with papaya salsa. Spoon a mound on your plate. Place a few strips on the steak and top, and drizzle with chutney and finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Chutney:
In a blender or food processor, puree the cilantro, fresh mint, serrano peppers, and yogurt together, streaming in some extra-virgin olive oil just until the mixture is thickened. Season the mixture with salt, and pepper. Chill the chutney in the refrigerator until ready to use.
