How to make Beef Tournedo
Prepare your ingredients. Rinse the young potatoes with a brush, do not peel the skin. Cut into slices, slightly cutting off the sharp edge, in the form of cloves of garlic, this form of slicing is called "chateau". Boil lightly in salted water for 3-4 minutes. Place the potatoes on a sieve. Pull the beef tenderloin with a thread so that it does not lose its shape during cooking, dry with a paper towel. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, fry the meat until light crust, so that it "seals". Transfer the meat to a baking sheet covered with parchment, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with dry thyme, bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 20 minutes. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
