What is tournedos?
Tournedos are steaks cut from the center of the tenderloin. The key factor is that they are cut to a thickness of 3 – 4 centimeters and the tenderloin is completely trimmed. Often, a kitchen string is tied around the steak to maintain its shape, but it’s also very popular to wrap either ham or bacon around it, as this also provides a truly delightful flavor to the steak. This time, I chose to use bacon.

Ingredients
- 300 gram Beef Tenderloin 2 pcs. Tournedos about 150 grams each
- Salt and Pepper
- Butter or oil - for frying
Instructions
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Place the steaks in a vacuum bag, leaving a slight gap between them.
- Seal the bag using a vacuum sealer.
- Place the bag in the water bath and let your tournedos cook for 2 hours at 57 degrees Celsius (135 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Thoroughly dry the steaks with a clean dish towel or paper towel.
- Sear them at very high heat for 30 - 45 seconds on each side until they just develop a crust. Remember they are already fully cooked, so they should only lightly "kiss" the pan. I usually sear in ghee, but you can also use a mixture of butter and oil.
- The steaks are ready to serve immediately.
- Enjoy your meal!
