Ingredients Needed
- 3 tbsp steak sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp orange marmalade
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 oz / 170g each)
How To Make Beef Tournedos
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the steak sauce, ketchup, marmalade, lemon juice, onion, and garlic. Set aside ¼ cup (60ml) for serving.
- Marinate the steaks: Brush the remaining sauce over the beef and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Sear the steaks: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your preferred doneness.
- Rest the steaks: Remove from heat and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
- Serve: Drizzle with the reserved sauce and enjoy.
Recipe Tips
- Choose high-quality beef: Opt for tenderloin or filet mignon for the best texture and flavor.
- Bring meat to room temperature: Let the steaks sit out for about 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Use a hot pan: Preheat your skillet or grill to high heat to achieve a nice sear on the meat.
- Avoid overcooking: Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness; medium-rare is typically 130°F (54°C).
- Rest before serving: Allow the cooked steaks to rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store leftover beef tournedos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Wrap leftover beef tournedos tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, transfer them to the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
