Vinaigrette

Method

Preparing the Steak

1

Season the Beef Tenderloin

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

2

Cook the Steak

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of olive oil and sear the beef tenderloin for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Sauteing the Mushrooms

3

Cook the Mushrooms

In the same skillet used for the steak, add olive oil. Once hot, add sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender and golden brown.

Frying the Leeks

4

Prepare the Leeks

Dust the sliced leeks in flour, ensuring they are well-coated.

5

Fry the Leeks

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the leeks in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Making the Vinaigrette

6

Combine Vinaigrette Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together sherry vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Assembling the Salad

7

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine spring mix, sautéed mushrooms, and sliced beef tenderloin.

8

Add Cheese and Vinaigrette

Top the salad with crumbled Roquefort cheese and drizzle with sherry vinaigrette. Toss gently to combine.

9

Finish with Fried Leeks

Garnish the salad with fried leeks before serving.
