A fantastic idea for a simple family dinner.
Ingredients:
- Beef tenderloin fillet: 150 g
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Sides:
- 1 large potato
- 2 tablespoons 18% sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 corn cob
- Salt, white pepper, and black pepper
Preparation:
Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator an hour before cooking. Season with salt and pepper, and rub with oil. Place it on a well-heated pan with a thick bottom and fry for 4 minutes on one side. Flip it over and fry for another 4 minutes for a medium-rare steak (pink meat in the center). For a well-done steak, fry for 5 minutes on each side. Remove the steak from the pan, place it on a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 4 minutes before slicing and serving. One minute before serving, place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of the steak. Serve with mashed potatoes and grilled corn.
Prepare the sides before frying the steak: Peel and boil the potato. While still hot, mash it thoroughly with a potato masher, season with salt, white pepper, add 2 tablespoons of sour cream and 1 tablespoon of butter. Mash again until smooth. Boil the corn in salted water for 5 minutes. Cut it into 2 halves, insert a wooden skewer into each half, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, rub with 1 tablespoon of butter, and grill for 3 minutes under a preheated grill in the oven, or grill on a grill pan.
