Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ancho Demi Glaze

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the ancho chili powder and cook for another minute.

  2. 2

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the red wine and beef stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Finish the Sauce

    Once reduced, whisk in the butter until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tenderloin

    Season the Angus tenderloin on both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and add a little olive oil.

  5. 5

    Sear the Steak

    Once the oil is hot, add the tenderloin to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  6. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the tenderloin from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the tenderloin and drizzle with the ancho demi glaze before serving.
