Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fingerling potatoes
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 6 cups meat stock
  • 1 1/2 lbs. beef tenderloin, cut in 4 equal pieces
  • Vinaigrette:
  • 1 1/2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp minced shallots
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. To prepare the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a medium pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain and keep warm.

  2. To prepare the Brussels sprouts: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain, cut in half lengthwise, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

  3. To prepare the beef: Bring the stock to a boil in a large saucepan. Place the tenderloin pieces into the stock and simmer for 7 minutes, or until the beef is cooked medium-rare. Remove the beef, let rest for 2 minutes, cut each piece into 4 slices and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve the poaching liquid.

  4. Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette: While the beef is cooking, whisk together the lemon juice, shallots, parsley, and olive oil in a small bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.

  5. Arrange the potatoes and Brussels sprouts in the center of each shallow bowl. Place 4 slices of the beef on the veggies, spoon in some of the poaching liquid and drizzle the vinaigrette over the beef.
