Caramelized Onion Soubise

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Tenderloin

    Season the beef tenderloin with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Lobster Tail

    Preheat the grill. Cut the lobster tail in half lengthwise, brush with melted butter, garlic, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Polenta

    In a pot, bring water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in truffle oil, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Pour into a greased dish to set.

  4. 4

    Make the Duxelle

    In a skillet, melt butter and sauté shallots until translucent. Add mushrooms and thyme, cooking until all moisture evaporates. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Rapini

    Blanch rapini in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes, then sauté with olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes until tender.

  6. 6

    Make Choron Sauce

    Combine tomato puree and hollandaise sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in lemon juice and keep warm.

  7. 7

    Make Caramelized Onion Soubise

    In a skillet, melt butter and cook onions over low heat until caramelized. Stir in heavy cream and salt, simmering for a few minutes.

Cooking

  1. 8

    Grill the Tenderloin

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Cook the beef tenderloin for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let it rest.

  2. 9

    Grill the Lobster Tail

    Place the lobster tail on the grill, shell side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until the flesh is opaque.

  3. 10

    Fry the Polenta Cake

    Cut the set polenta into squares and pan-fry in olive oil until golden and crispy on both sides.
