Tenderloin Preparation

Red Wine Marsala Reduction

Mozzarella Bread

Method

Tenderloin Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Tenderloin

    Sprinkle the shaved beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tenderloin

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned tenderloin and sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Red Wine Marsala Reduction

  1. 3

    Sauté Shallots and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Wines and Broth

    Pour in the red wine and marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add beef broth and bring to a simmer.

  3. 5

    Reduce the Sauce

    Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it reduces by half and thickens slightly. Stir in the chopped thyme.

  4. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Whisk in the unsalted butter until melted and the sauce is glossy. Return the seared tenderloin to the skillet and coat with the sauce.

Mozzarella Bread Assembly

  1. 7

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place it on a baking sheet.

  2. 8

    Add Mozzarella

    Layer the sliced fresh mozzarella evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.

  3. 9

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the baking sheet under a broiler for about 2-3 minutes until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Remove the melted mozzarella bread from the oven. Spoon the shaved tenderloin with marsala reduction over the mozzarella bread. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
