Description
Tournedos Rossini is a classic gourmet dish featuring tender beef steaks topped with foie gras, served on toasted French bread and drizzled with a rich Madeira sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces foie gras, sliced into 4 pieces
- 4 slices of French bread (about ½ inch thick)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup Madeira wine
- ½ cup beef stock
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the beef tenderloin steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
- In the same skillet, add the foie gras slices and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the slices of French bread and toast them until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- Pour the Madeira wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
- Add the beef stock to the skillet and continue to simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- To serve, place a toasted slice of bread on each plate, top with a beef tenderloin steak, and then add a piece of foie gras on top. Drizzle the Madeira sauce over the top and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute the foie gras with sautéed mushrooms or a rich mushroom pâté.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as brioche or ciabatta, for added flavor and texture.
