Ingredients
Beef Fillet
Sweet Potato Mash
  • 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • ¼ cup grass fed butter or ghee divided
  • 1 tbs Tessemae's Slow Roasted Garlic Spread
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 2 tbs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbs fresh thyme, chopped
  • sea salt
Instructions
Beef Fillet
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except for the beef fillet tail.This will make a compound butter.
  2. Place compound butter in a vacuum seal bag and then add the beef fillet tail, making sure you coat the beef evenly with the compound butter.
  3. Seal the bag and place in a Sous Vide heated to 130 F. Cook for 4 hours.
  4. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and add about 1 tbs of tallow.
  5. Once tallow is shimmering, remove beef from Sous Vide and remove from vacuum bag. Pat dry with paper towels.
  6. Sear beef for about 1-2 minutes per side but no more. This will give a nice crust but won't cook the inside any further.
  7. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Slice across the grain into medallions and serve over Roasted Sweet Potato Mash
