Beef Tenderloin Medallions

Green Chili Mac and Cheese

Grilled Asparagus

Chipotle Tomato Sauce

Method

Beef Tenderloin Medallions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help it cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef medallions. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Flavor

    During the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic and fresh rosemary to the pan. Baste the beef with the pan juices for enhanced flavor.

  5. 5

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Green Chili Mac and Cheese

  1. 6

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 7

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute until golden. Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until the mixture thickens.

  3. 8

    Add Cheese and Chilies

    Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is melted and smooth. Stir in the cooked macaroni until evenly combined.

Grilled Asparagus

  1. 9

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Rinse the asparagus spears under cold water and trim the tough ends.

  2. 10

    Season and Grill

    In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the asparagus for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

Chipotle Tomato Sauce

  1. 11

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 12

    Add Tomatoes and Chipotle

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes and minced chipotle peppers. Season with salt and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
