Filets Mignons with Spiced Butter, Glazed Artichokes, and Haricots VertsGourmet

An Eastern-inspired spiced butter makes filet mignon even juicier than usual. Artichokes and haricots verts, cooked separately and then baked together, taste luxuriously rich in a way that complements the meat nicely.

Cooks' note:

Haricots verts can be cooked (but not baked) 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled in a sealed plastic bag lined with paper towels.
