Beef Tenderloin

Green Peppercorn Sauce

Vegetable Medley

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Cooking the Beef Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Season and Sear

    Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove and let it rest.

Making the Green Peppercorn Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Sauté shallots until translucent. Add green peppercorns, beef broth, and cognac. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

Cooking the Vegetable Medley

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add zucchini, bell peppers, and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Making the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, and mash until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate and Serve

    Slice the beef tenderloin and place it on a plate. Spoon the green peppercorn sauce over the beef. Serve with the sautéed vegetable medley and a generous scoop of mashed potatoes.
