    Harrah’s Steakhouse

    List of Ingredients




    For the tenderloins:

    Salt and pepper

    Olive oil

    4 8-ounce beef tenderloins

    2 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced

    2 ounces button mushrooms, sliced

    2 tablespoons shallots, chopped fine

    1 tablespoon garlic, chopped fine

    1/4 cup Madeira*

    1/2 cup heavy cream

    4 1/2-ounce slices of paté de foie gras**

    4 6-by-6-inch squares of puff pastry, readied according to package directions

    Egg wash (1 egg yolk plus 1 tablespoon water, beaten together)

    Recipe



    Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. In hot pan with olive oil, sear both sides until browned, about 1 minute each side. Remove and let cool to room temperature. In same pan over medium heat, sauté mushrooms until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add shallots and garlic and continue sautéing until flavors blend, about 2 minutes more. Deglaze mixture with Madeira and reduce until liquid cooks away, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add cream and cook until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes, then cool.

    Top cooled tenderloins with mushroom mixture and foie gras. Roll out puff pastry very thin, enough for 4 6-by-6-inch squares. Using one square, wrap dough over top of tenderloin and tuck ends under, removing any excess. Brush with egg wash. Bake in 400 F oven 8 to 10 minutes until pastry shell is golden brown, or until instant read thermometer inserted in beef indicates temperature of 120 F.

    For the sauce:

    1 tablespoon butter

    1/4 cup black truffles, diced**

    1/4 cup shallots, chopped fine

    1/2 cup Chablis*

    1/2 cup Madeira*

    2 cups demi-glace**

    Meantime, in a saucepot over medium heat, lightly sauté truffles and shallots in butter until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add Chablis and Madeira and reduce volume of liquid by half, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add demi-glace and simmer over low heat until sauce is of consistency to coat back of spoon, about 10 minutes.

    To serve:

    Remove tenderloins from oven, dress with sauce and serve.

    Makes 4 servings.
