Bacon
Wrapped Beef Tenderloin with blue cheese butter
Serves 4
Four-5 oz. beef tenderloin fillets
4 slices bacon
Compound butter:
1 stick butter (4oz.), room temperature
2 T. Crumbled blue cheese
Pinch chopped parsley
1 t. lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Heat an oven to 375 and par cook the bacon strips. They
should render some fat and be partially cooked but not
crisp.
Season the beef and wrap the bacon around the sides.
Secure with string.
Make the compound butter:
In a mixer or a bowl mix together all the ingredients
and season to taste.
Roll into a log using parchment paper and chill.
When ready to serve, heat a sauté pan on medium-high
heat and add 2 Tbl. Butter. Add the steaks and sear on
both sides. Transfer pan to 450 oven and let cook to
desired doneness.
When the steaks are done, slice of a coin of blue cheese
butter and place atop each fillet. Serve immediately. |
