Recipe - Beef Tenderloin With Three-Peppercorn Hollandaise

2 Beef tenderloins; (fillet
steaks,
; about 6 ounces/185
; g each)
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper; to taste
One half teaspoon Green peppercorns
One half teaspoon Black peppercorns
One half teaspoon Pink peppercorns
One fourth cup White wine
One fourth cup Dry sherry
3 tablespoon Sherry vinegar
1 Shallot; chopped
2 Cloves garlic; chopped
2 Egg yolks
1/3 cup Unsalted butter; melted
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Chopped flatleaf; (Italian)
parsley,
; for garnish

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/175 degrees C/gas mark 4.

Season the tenderloins with salt and pepper and set them aside.

In a small saucepan over high heat, bring the green, black, and pink
peppercorns, white wine, sherry, sherry vinegar, shallot, and garlic
to a boil. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until about 2 tablespoons of
liquid remain. Set aside to cool.

Place the egg yolks and the cooled wine mixture in a small stainless
steel bowl. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk
for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the egg yolks thicken to the consistency
of softly whipped cream. Do not scramble the eggs. Slowly whisk in
the melted butter and mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt.

Leave the bowl over the hot water and remove the pot from the heat.
Cover and set aside.

In a medium saute pan over high temperature, heat the 1 tablespoon
olive oil until smoking hot. Sear the tenderloins well on both sides,
about 2 minutes per side. If your saute pan is ovenproof, place it in
the oven; otherwise, transfer the beef to a roasting pan. Bake the
tenderloins for about 8 minutes for mediumrare.

Place the tenderloins on individual plates and pour over the
ThreePeppercorn Hollandaise. Garnish with the chopped parsley.

Serves two.
