Recipes

Tournedos à la Mexicaine

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Mikado

Chef Juliette

Butter-seared tournedos rest on grilled tomato halves around a crown of delicate crosnes, a precise little composition whose success depends on cooking the lean beef hot, fast, and last.

Tournedos Mirabeau

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Mirabeau

Hot-grilled beef tenderloin, dressed with an exact anchovy lattice, a green tarragon crown, and one olive, with half-melted anchovy butter served apart. The pan must be fierce and the cooking brief.

Tournedos Mireille

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Mirette

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Mirette

Tournedos Mirette turns one skillet’s fond into the whole sauce: beef tenderloin seared deep bronze, each fillet crowned with a glazed potato timbale, then glossed with white wine, meat glaze, and cold butter.

Tournedos à la Moelle

Chef Juliette

Tournedos à la Moelle

Tournedos à la Moelle puts the whole lesson in the last ten minutes: sear tenderloin hard, poach marrow gently, and bring both to Sauce Bordelaise before the lean beef has time to dry.

Tournedos Montgomery

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Montgomery

Tournedos Montgomery sets butter-seared beef over a molded spinach pancake, then crowns it with reduced Soubise and truffle. The lesson is simple and unforgiving: a properly hot pan gives the fillet its bronze.

Tournedos Montpensier

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Montpensier

Butter-seared tournedos sit on crisp fried crusts beneath tiny asparagus tartlets and black truffle. The lesson is timing: lean fillet must brown fast and reach the table before tenderness becomes dryness.

Tournedos aux Morilles

Chef Juliette

Tournedos aux Morilles

Four butter-seared tournedos form a generous crown around morels tossed until glossy, then parsley falls over the centre: hot, fast cooking that keeps tenderloin bronze outside and rosy within.

Tournedos à la Niçoise

Chef Juliette

Tournedos à la Niçoise

Butter-seared tournedos crowned with garlic-tarragon tomato, then ringed by glossy French beans and golden potatoes: a composed Niçoise platter whose success rests on one thing, a properly hot pan.

Tournedos Ninon

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Ninon

Butter-seared tournedos rise from crisp pommes Anna, crowned with petite puff-pastry cases of asparagus and truffle: a grand composition whose real lesson is timing the lean fillet without fear.

Tournedos Parmentier

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Parmentier

Four tournedos form a crown around parsley-flecked potatoes, each cube soft with butter, each fillet deeply bronzed. The lesson is timing: make the garnish wait, never the beef.

Tournedos Persane

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Persane

Tournedos seared hard in butter, settled on grilled tomato, capped with rice-stuffed green capsicum, and ringed by fried banana, with glossy Châteaubriand sauce passed separately at the table.

Tournedos Péruvienne

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Péruvienne

Four tournedos, grilled hard and fast, sit in a crown with oxalis-root cases of mushroom duxelles, baked tender and gratinéed gold. The lesson is timing: the garnish waits for the beef, never the reverse.

Tournedos Piémontaise

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Piémontaise

Hot, butter-seared tournedos sit on white-truffle Rizotto à la Piémontaise tartlets. The lesson is timing: mold the rice, sear the fillet fast, then bring both together at the last minute.

Tournedos Provençale

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Provençale

Hot, quick searing is the whole art: tender tournedos on crisp fried crusts, crowned with Provençal tomato and ringed by garlic-scented stuffed mushrooms, generous enough for a dinner table.

Tournedos Rachel

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Rachel

Tournedos Rachel puts the classical garnish in perfect order: crisp butter-fried bread, bronzed fillet, tender artichoke, soft poached marrow, and Bordelaise sauce offered apart so every layer keeps its character.

Tournedos Rossini

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Rossini

Butter-seared beef fillet, a crisp croûton, foie gras, and one dark slice of truffle: Tournedos Rossini teaches exact timing and the nerve to stop cooking the instant the fillet is ready.

Tournedos Roumanille

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Roumanille

Small tournedos seared fast in butter, set on grilled tomato, glazed with Mornay, and crowned with olive and anchovy beside crisp aubergine: a composed dish won by timing, not fuss.

Tournedos Saint Mandé

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Saint Mandé

Tournedos Saint-Mandé makes timing visible: deep-bronzed fillet on crisp-edged pommes Macaire, with butter-bright peas gathered at the centre. Heat the pan properly, and three simple parts arrive together with authority.

Tournedos à la Sarde

Chef Juliette

Tournedos à la Sarde

Lean tournedos seared fast in butter, each crowned with a crisp saffron-rice croquette and ringed by duxelles-filled cucumber and tomato: a grand garnish brought within reach of one cook.

Tournedos Soubise

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Soubise

Tournedos Soubise teaches restraint: grill the lean fillets fiercely, keep the onion purée pale and silken, then arrange the beef in a crown and serve the Soubise apart.

Tournedos Tivoli

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Tivoli

Butter-seared tournedos sit on crisp fried croûtes beneath grilled mushroom and buttered tomato, with round pommes soufflées at the rim and warm Béarnaise apart: grand-kitchen choreography brought under one cook's command.

Tournedos Tyrolienne

Chef Juliette

Tournedos Tyrolienne

Four thick tournedos, browned in butter and arranged in a crown, meet a glossy tomato-onion sauce sharpened with garlic and poivrade. The hot pan matters, because pale beef gives the sauce nothing.
