How To Make tournedos rossini

Step 1

TOURNEDOS... Generously season filets mignons with salt and pepper; set aside.

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add bread circles and toast until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3

Heat up a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat before adding oil. Place well-seasoned filets and sear to desired doneness. Add butter and spoon it over the filet mignons.
Step 4

Remove from the heat to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil; set aside.
Step 5

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, place foie gras slices and cook 1 minute per side.
Step 6

To assemble… Place a toasted bread circle on a warm plate, then filet mignon and top with foie gras. Spoon sauce around the crouton and over the foie gras before garnishing with mustard microgreens.
Step 7

MADEIRA SAUCE... In a saucepan over medium heat, add butter, and when sizzling, add shallot and sauté for 2 minutes.
Step 8

Pour in wine and simmer until reduced by half.
Step 9

Add demi-glace and cook until reduced by 2/3rds, about 20 minutes, stirring often.
Step 10

Just before serving, whisk in Dijon mustard.
