Using tongs, flip the filet and cook another 3 minutes, add springs of thyme, remaining garlic cloves and 3 tablespoons butter. Bast the filet with butter and continue to cook 3-5 minutes or until cooked to rare or medium rare. Rest filets for 5-8 minutes
  • Deglaze pan with remaining ¼ cup chicken stock, scrapping up all the brown bits from the pan. Add pan juices to Poblano Ranch sauce to create the best pan sauce... ever!
  • TO GARNISH: Place cooked filets on plate, stand a fried green tomato next to filet, add roasted corn skewer. Drizzle the filet, corn skewer and plate with Poblano Ranch Pan Sauce, sprinkle with Cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Add more thyme sprigs and a lime wedge.
