Main Ingredients

Demi Glace Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Beef

  1. 1

    Season and Sear

    Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil and season generously with the five peppercorn mixture. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.

  2. 2

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Making the Peppercorn Demi Glace

  1. 3

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same skillet used for the beef, add the finely chopped shallots and sauté over medium heat until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Deglaze with Red Wine

    Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Increase the heat and let it reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Beef Stock and Simmer

    Add the beef stock and fresh thyme to the pan, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce further for about 15-20 minutes until it thickens slightly.

  4. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove from heat and swirl in the butter until melted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the rested beef tenderloin into medallions and serve drizzled with the peppercorn demi glace. Enjoy!
