Preparation

Marinade

In a bowl, mix oil with horseradish, shallot, mustard, thyme and pepper.

Beef

Cut the tenderloin into 2 rectangular pieces, then coat with marinade. Let rest 30 minutes to 1 hour. Before cooking, remove excess marinade.

Melt butter in a skillet over high heat and quickly sear the tenderloin on all sides. Let rest 1–2 minutes.

Slice tenderloin and serve with crumbled Blue cheese, garnished with cranberry jelly cubes, a dash of balsamic glaze and snow pea or beet shoots, if desired.
