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.
