Sous Vide Beef Tenderloin with Mashed Potatoes, Pepper Cream & Chimichurri
Description
The sous vide beef tenderloin is seasoned and vacuum sealed, then cooked precisely at 55°C (131°F) for 45 minutes to ensure even doneness. After cooling, it is seared with butter, garlic, and thyme to develop a flavorful crust and to bring the internal temperature to medium. The tender slices are finished with salt flakes for texture contrast.
The mashed potatoes combine butter and milk with cooked potatoes for richness and smoothness. The pepper cream sauce blends red roasted pepper spread with milk, cornflour, egg, and tomato powder, simmering until homogenized and smooth. Butter is added at the end for richness and flavor.
To complement, chimichurri is prepared by blending fresh herbs, garlic, red pepper, fermented hot sauce, and olive oil, lending a fresh and slightly spicy note. A carrot pickle made with vinegar, sugar, and spices adds acidity and crunch to contrast the tender meat and creamy sides. This ensemble balances rich, mild, and bright flavors for a refined plate.
