Cooking Steps
You can prepare some elements in advance. See the 'mise en place' information on the front of the recipe card.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Take the beef tenderloin out of the fridge and allow it to reach room temperature.
- Cut the parsnip into matchsticks of around 0.5cm thickness.
- Finely chop the shallot and crush or mince the garlic.
- Discard the plastic from the potato gratin and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden-brown.
- Melt a third of the butter in a frying pan over high heat. Sear the beef tenderloin for 2 - 3 minutes per side, then transfer to an oven dish.
- Top with half of the fresh rosemary, then roast in the oven (see below for the exact cooking time).
- Allow to rest under aluminium foil until serving.
150g: 4 - 5 minutes
300g: 6 - 8 minutes
450g: 9 - 12 minutes
600g: 10 - 13 minutes
- Boil plenty of water in a large pot and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
- Cook the parsnip, Brussels sprouts and carrots for 4 - 5 minutes until done, covered, then drain and set aside.
- Melt another third of the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the Brussels sprouts, carrot, garlic and parsnip with the thyme, dried rosemary and half of the honey for 1 - 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place the same pan you used for the beef over medium heat. Fry the shallot with the rest of the fresh rosemary for 2 - 3 minutes, then deglaze with the balsamic vinegar.
- Add the cranberry sauce, veal jus and water (see pantry for amount). Mix well and allow to reduce gently for 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
- Shortly before serving, stir in the rest of the butter.
- Remove the rosemary and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place another frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the bacon lardons for 3 - 4 minutes.
- Add the pecans and half of the honey and fry for 2 more minutes.
- Finely chop the parsley in the meantime.
- Top the vegetables with the bacon lardons and pecans.
- Garnish the potato gratin with the parsley.
- Slice the beef tenderloin against the grain and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with the rosemary.
- Serve the cranberry veal jus alongside.
