TOURNEDOS RECIPES

Steps:

• Season the filets mignons with salt and pepper; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the veal stock or demi-glace, truffle juice and chopped truffles; set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a third of the butter with the oil and quickly fry the slices of bread until lightly browned on both sides; remove and set aside. Add another third of the butter to the skillet, and sauté the filets mignons over high heat for 4 minutes a side for rare or 5 minutes a side for medium-rare. Remove the filets from the skillet, set aside and keep warm.
• Using the same skillet and high heat, sauté the foie gras slices 90 seconds on each side and put 1 slice on each of the filets.
• Discard all fat from the skillet. While the skillet is still hot, add the Madeira, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the veal stock mixture, bring to a quick boil, then remove from heat and stir in the remaining butter to make a silky sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• On each of two plates, place the croutons in the center and top with the filet mignon and foie gras. Garnish with a slice of truffle on the top. Spoon the sauce over and around. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced garlic clove, thyme and mushrooms and cook for around 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden. Splash in some madeira and stir through the crème fraîche. Season and keep warm.

  Heat a griddle pan over a medium to high heat. Brush the steak with the remainder of the oil and season well with black pepper. Sear on the griddle for 4-6 minutes (depending on how you like your steak cooked), turning halfway through. Remove from the pan and leave to rest, covered, for a couple of minutes.  

  While the steak is resting, griddle the bread until toasted. Rub with the remaining whole garlic clove.

  Serve the steak on the toasted bread with the mushroom sauce drizzled over the top.
