Method

For the Piadina

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Piadina

    Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each piadina for about 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep warm.

For the Tenderloin

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tenderloin

    Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 4

    Sear the Tenderloin

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the seasoned tenderloin and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

For the Caramelized Onion Jam

  1. 5

    Cook the Onions

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they soften and start to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Sugar and Vinegar

    Stir in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the rested tenderloin into thin pieces. Place a few slices on each piadina, top with a generous spoonful of caramelized onion jam, and fold the piadina in half. Serve warm.
