Use high-quality meat from the butcher for the best results.
Ensure your pan is hot before adding the meat.
Avoid over-flipping or piercing the meat to retain its juices.
Choose starchy potatoes for an extra creamy mash.
Stappenplan
1 Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook for about 15-20 minutes until soft. Drain the water. |
2 Add salt, black pepper, dried parsley, butter, and heavy cream to the warm potatoes. Mash or blend until creamy. |
3 Remove the beef tenderloin from the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and place it in a bowl. Add salt, cayenne powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and fresh parsley and mix well to coat the meat evenly. |
4 Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the beef tenderloin and sear on both sides (about 1-2 minutes per side) until golden brown While cooking, spoon the melted butter over the meat for extra flavor. Remove the meat from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes under loosely tented aluminum foil to allow the juices to redistribute. |
5 Meanwhile, heat another frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Stir in the salt, cayenne powder, sweet soy sauce, and heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Add the dried parsley and mix well. |
6 Slice the beef tenderloin into thick pieces or serve it whole. Pair it with the creamy mashed potatoes and flavorful onion sauce. Add grilled vegetables for a complete meal. |
