Method

Beef Tenderloin Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Take the beef tenderloin out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned tenderloin and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Sunchoke and Potato Latke Preparation

  1. 3

    Prep the Vegetables

    Grate the sunchokes and potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the grated sunchokes, grated potatoes, egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 5

    Fry the Latkes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Wild Mushroom Preparation

  1. 6

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet used for the beef, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, then add the mixed wild mushrooms and fresh thyme. Cook for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender and browned.

Bacon Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate skillet, cook bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Steakhouse Sauce Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and hot sauce. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
