Beef Tenderloin

Caramelized Shallot Demi-Glace

Potato Purée

Porcini Compound Butter

Brussels Sprouts

Method

Beef Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    Once the oil is hot, sear the beef tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

  3. 3

    Roast the Beef

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Caramelized Shallot Demi-Glace

  1. 4

    Caramelize Shallots

    In the same skillet used for the beef, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add sliced shallots and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Deglaze and Reduce

    Add red wine to the skillet to deglaze it, scraping up any browned bits. Let it reduce by half, then add beef stock and thyme. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.

Potato Purée

  1. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 7

    Make the Purée

    In a mixing bowl, add the drained potatoes, butter, heavy cream, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Porcini Compound Butter

  1. 8

    Prepare the Porcini

    Rehydrate dried porcini mushrooms in warm water for about 20 minutes. Drain and chop finely.

  2. 9

    Mix Compound Butter

    In a bowl, combine softened butter, chopped porcini, minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Mix well and form into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm.

Brussels Sprouts

  1. 10

    Prepare Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 11

    Roast Brussels Sprouts

    Spread Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
