1 pound filet mignon (1 kg)
1/2 cup coarse salt (120 g)
1 cup unsalted butter (200 g)
3 large onions, sliced into thin rings
1 kilogram of peeled and segmented avocado (without skin), cut into small pieces
Salt to taste
Using a sharp knife, lay the meat out like a blanket (a large filet) on a clean surface
Sprinkle with coarse salt
Place a glass or ceramic bowl over the meat and let it rest overnight
At night, beat the filet to remove excess salt and store it in the refrigerator
The next day, take it out of the refrigerator
Put it back in the refrigerator at night
The following day, rinse the meat thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining salt
Douse with water and let it marinate
If necessary, change the water to desalinate it well
Only put it back in the refrigerator at night
The next morning, wash the meat, pat it dry with a cloth, and cut it into thin strips
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat
When melted and hot, add the meat and brown it, stirring constantly until it loses its pink color
Use a slotted spoon to remove the meat and set it aside
Return the skillet to the heat, melt more butter if needed, and add 1/3 of the meat
Fry until golden brown, then remove and set aside
Repeat this process two more times with the remaining meat
Remove the fat and reserve
In the same skillet, melt more butter if needed and sauté the onions until caramelized
Pulse the avocado in a food processor until it forms a coarse paste
Add the avocado to the skillet with the onions, cover, and cook until tender
Season with salt
When serving, place the avocado in the center of a serving dish and surround it with the warm meat and reserved fat sauce
