Steps:
- Make the steaks: Liberally season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper to taste. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. If letting stand for more than 1 hour, keep in refrigerator, then remove and let stand for 30 minutes.
- For the bearnaise: Boil vinegar, wine, and shallots, with 1/3 of the fresh tarragon, pepper, and salt over medium heat until liquid is about 2 tablespoons or 1/4 cup including shallots and herbs. Strain mixture and let cool.
- Whisk the egg yolks in the same saucepan over very low heat until thickened. Add 1 tablespoon of cold butter and thicken the egg yolks. Beat in 1 additional tablespoon of cold butter and add the rest of the tarragon.
- Blend everything in a blender. Add in the 3/4 cups of melt butter drop by drop until the bearnaise sauce is thickened.
- Preheat the oven to 250º F. Insert an internal thermometer with probe and place steaks on pan in oven. Cook until internal temperature reaches between 125º and 127º, about 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes while steaks rest. Pat steaks dry. Carefully place steaks in skillet and sear on one side for 30 seconds. Add remaining butter and flip steak, searing other side for 30 seconds. Remove from skillet and serve with bearnaise sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- Dry the entire tenderloin with paper towels and brush it all over (top and bottom) with the butter. Sprinkle it all over with 4 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper. It will seem like a lot but trust me, it's important.
- Place the filet on the sheet pan and roast it for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the end of the beef registers 130 degrees F for medium rare. Remove from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Discard the foil and allow to sit at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, place the shallots, 3 tablespoons of tarragon, the wine, and vinegar in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 5 minutes, until only 1 tablespoon of liquid remains. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
- Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process for 10 seconds. With the processor running, slowly pour the vegetable oil and olive oil through the feed tube to make a thick emulsion. Add the shallot reduction and the remaining tablespoon of tarragon leaves and pulse to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Slice the filet of beef between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm, at room temperature, or cold with the béarnaise mayonnaise on the side.
SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN FILETS
This is a tired and true method of perfect filets every time! This has never failed me. You can get already cut filets, or when on sale, buy a whole tenderloin and cut it yourself. You will want them cut 2 inches thick. So a 6 pound whole beef tenderloin will yield about 7 or 8, 8 oz. filets. You may never go to a restaurant...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the middle of oven.
- 2. Season the tenderloin filets with salt and pepper.
- 3. You need to use an oven proof frying pan for this recipe. (I use my cast iron skillet) Get you pan very hot. Oil the pan and place the filets on the hot pan.(do not over crowd the pan. Do them in batches if need be or they will not get that professional looking "crust" to them. Once in pan, DO NOT MOVE THEM, TURN THEM, OR PLAY WITH THEM. The idea is to get a nice "crust" on the filet. Let them cook in the hot pan for 5 minutes. Then turn them over ( to reveal a beautiful crust) Place the whole pan in the preheated oven right away. Finish cooking them in the oven until desired done-ness. (again, I never cook tenderloin to a well done. It isnt a cut that fairs well with well done. Medium rare is the way to go in my book!) :)
- 4. Rare: sear 5 minutes, Roast 5 minutes Medium-rare: Sear 5 minutes, Roast 7 minutes Medium: Sear 5 minutes, Roast 9 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Take the beef tenderloin and drizzle with olive oil. Season well all over with plenty of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper all over. Make sure it is at room temperature before cooking. Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top and sear tenderloin all over. Place the whole pan in the oven and roast the tenderloin for 15-17 minutes (depending on how thick your tenderloin is). An instant-read thermometer when inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 130 degrees F for medium-rare. If you want it medium, cook for a further 3 minutes in the oven. Remove from the oven and tent with foil while you let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
- Make the bearnaise reduction first. In a small saucepan, combine half of the tarragon, shallots, vinegar and wine over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Blend yolks and bearnaise reduction together in a blender. With the blender running, add 1/3 of the butter in a slow steady stream. Once it emulsifies, turn the blender speed up to high and add the remaining butter. Add the remaining half bunch of fresh tarragon leaves, season with salt and pepper and give it 1 more buzz. Set aside in a warm spot to hold the sauce.
