Equipment
- Skillets Two skillets are recommended to cook potatoes and beef simultaneously
- Chef's knife For precise cubing of meat and potatoes
- Mixing bowls For sauce and ingredients
Instructions
-
Rinse the cubed potatoes in cold water and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
-
Heat oil and a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet and fry the potato cubes over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy on the outside, then season with salt and set aside.
-
In another skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the diced onions with a pinch of sugar until soft, golden, and caramelized. Set aside.
-
Whisk together creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl to make the mustard cream sauce.
-
Season the diced beef tenderloin generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
-
Heat a skillet over high heat with butter until foaming, and quickly pan-sear the beef cubes for 1 to 2 minutes so they get a nice crust while remaining medium-rare inside.
-
Plate the dish by arranging the crispy potatoes, caramelized onions, and seared beef in separate neat rows or piles on the plate. Top with chopped parsley, a raw egg yolk in its shell or on the side, and serve with the mustard cream sauce.
