List of Ingredients




6 cups beef or veal stock
6 cups dry red wine, preferably Pinot Noire
1 1/2 cups garlic cloves, roasted
1 1/2 cups shallots, chopped
1 1/2 cups fresh parsley, chopped
Salt to taste
Fresh ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup toasted pistachios, chopped
3/4 cup sunflower seeds, chopped
6 lbs. Beef tenderloin, cut in 8-oz steaks
6 tablespoons olive or corn oil
12 sprigs fresh parsley, for garnish

Preheat the grill.

Step One:
In a large saucepan, combine the stock, red wine, 9 tablespoons of the roasted garlic, the shallots and 3/4 cup of the chopped parsley. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into another saucepan, then adjust the salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining parsley, then reduce heat to low.

Step Two:
In a small bowl, combine the remaining garlic, the pistachios, sunflower seeds and 6 tablespoons of the Red Wine sauce. Mix well. Rub the surface of the steaks with the oil.

Step Three:
Grill the steaks until well seared on the surface - both sides. Place in a baking dish. Bake at 300 degrees F for about 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, depending on the thickness.

Step Four:
Brush the tops of the steaks with a small amount of Red Wine sauce, and then press the steaks, topside down, into the pistachio mixture, coating the surface well. Position the steaks on serving platter, spoon the remaining sauce around them, garnish with parsley sprigs and serve.

Note: the nut garnish/topping can be added to the sauce, just before adjusting the salt and pepper.
