• 2          tablespoons kosher salt

1. To make garlic mashed potatoes: Add potatoes to stockpot. Cover with cold water by about 1 inch and add 1 pinch salt. Turn on high heat and bring to boil 12-15 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain and place potatoes in large mixing bowl.
2. In saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and simmer 5 minutes. Add heavy cream, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper; bring to boil. When mixture boils, reduce to simmer 3 minutes then remove from heat.
3. Mash hot potatoes until most lumps are gone. Using hand mixer on low speed, slowly add butter and cream mixture until desired smoothness and taste.
4. Season with salt and white pepper, to taste.
5. To make honey-lemon glazed carrots: In small bowl, whisk honey, lemon juice, sumac, lemon zest, 1 pinch salt and 1 pinch pepper.
6. Preheat oven to 425 F.
7. Fill stockpot 2/3 full with water. Bring to boil and add 1 pinch salt. Blanch carrots in boiling water 5 minutes. Drain and shock with cold water. When cool enough to handle, halve carrots lengthwise.
8. In large saute pan over medium-high heat, add oil and butter.
9. Add carrots to pan, flat sides down, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sear until browned, about 2 minutes.
10. Flip carrots and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add half of glaze to pan and glaze generously. Bake 3 minutes. Add remaining glaze to carrots and bake 2 minutes. Remove glazed carrots from oven.
11. To make sumac-crusted filet mignon: Thaw filet mignons in refrigerator overnight, pat dry with paper towels then bring to room temperature 30 minutes.
12. In small bowl, whisk kosher salt, sumac, black pepper and dried thyme. Season steaks on all sides.
13. In cast-iron pan over high heat, add grapeseed oil.
14. Place filets in pan and cook 4 minutes until browned and seared. Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan. 
15. Flip filets and butter baste about 20 seconds. Cook filets 3 minutes for medium-rare.
16. Remove filets from pan and top each with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Rest steaks 7-8 minutes.
17. Place garlic mashed potatoes on plate and top with sumac-crusted filet mignon. Place honey-lemon glazed carrots next to filet mignon and mashed potatoes.
