Beef Tenderloin

Whipped Potatoes

Bordelaise Sauce

Method

Beef Tenderloin Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Beef

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin for 3-4 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest.

Whipped Potatoes Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform pieces. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Whip the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, and salt. Whip until smooth and creamy.

Bordelaise Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, add the chopped shallots and red wine. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until the wine is reduced by half.

  2. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Add the beef stock, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Stir in butter before serving.

Plating

  1. 7

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, place a generous scoop of whipped potatoes, top with the sliced beef tenderloin, and drizzle with bordelaise sauce.
