Tournedos of Beef
6 servings
Ingredients:
12 slices beef tenderloin, 2-inches thick or 2-ounce portions
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
Sauce
Pan juices from baking pan
cup flour
cup butter
1 cup water
1 teaspoon beef base
1 teaspoon lemon juice
cup chopped parsley
Season both sides of the tenderloin slices with salt and pepper. In a heavy skillet, melt the butter and brown the meat quickly on both sides. Remove meat from the skillet and place on a baking pan to finish cooking in a 325 degree oven for 5-10 minutes. For medium rare, cook until meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 degree.
For the sauce: Using a whisk, combine the pan juices from the meat with flour and butter and stir constantly over low heat for 2 minutes. Add water, beef base, lemon juice, and parsley and simmer 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
To serve, spoon sauce over the beef.
