• 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.

• 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.

• Put the egg yolks in a mini food processor and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne, then add the vinegar.
• Finely chop the tarragon stalks and leaves separately. Melt the butter in a pan then add the chopped tarragon stalks and bring it to a simmer - the butter needs to be hot so that it will cook the egg yolks slightly.
• Turn the processor on and add the hot melted butter slowly while the processor is running. Once all the butter has been added and the mixture is smooth and thick, pour it into a bowl and stir through the tarragon leaves. Season and serve with steak.

• Respray the cast-iron pan generously with cooking spray, and return it to high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown, about 4 minutes. Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper to taste, transfer the pan to the oven, and roast until the cauliflower is tender, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, wine, shallots, and tarragon in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by about half.

BéARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the vinegar, shallots, black pepper and 1 tablespoon of tarragon leaves into a small saucepan, and set over a medium flame. Bring just to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer until there are only a few tablespoons of liquid left, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
• Fill a small saucepan with an inch or two of water, and set over medium-high heat to boil.
• Put the cooled shallot-and-tarragon mixture into a metal mixing bowl along with a tablespoon of water and the egg yolks, then whisk to combine.
• Turn the heat under the saucepan of water down to its lowest setting, and put the bowl on top of the pan, making sure that it does not touch the water directly. Continue to whisk the yolks until they thicken, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. You should just about double the volume of the yolks.
• Slowly beat in the butter, a tablespoon or two at a time, whisking slowly to combine and emulsify. Remove the bowl from the pan occasionally, so as not to overcook the eggs, and taste the sauce. Season with salt. If the flavor is not sharp enough, add a splash of lemon juice. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of hot water. Add the remaining teaspoon of tarragon leaves, and serve.

FILET MIGNON WITH BéARNAISE SAUCE AND ROASTED ASPARAGUS RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Boil the wine, vinegar, shallots and one tablespoon of tarragon in a small, heavy saucepan until the liquid is reduced to two tablespoons. Then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve set into a medium metal bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. 2. Whisk the yolks into the vinegar mixture, and then set the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the yolks have thickened slightly (do not scramble them). Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has melted completely. (Note: have your butter ready next to you so you don't accidentally overcook the eggs). 3. Remove it from the heat, and whisk in the lemon juice, remaining tablespoon tarragon, about 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). 4. Transfer the sauce to a smaller glass bowl, and place it into a saucepan that has boiling hot water in it. Cover it with a lid. This keeps the sauce warm while you grill or roast the filet mignon and roast the asparagus. 5. For the filet mignon, season each steak with kosher salt. If you are roasting the filets in a roasting pan or ovenproof frying pan, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil. When the filets are hot, sear them on all sides until they become golden brown. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast them for seven to eight minutes, turning the filets over after three to four minutes. 6. If you are grilling the filets, grill them over hot coals for about eight minutes per side (five minutes per side for rare). 7. To cook the asparagus, begin by preheating the oven to 400 °. 8. Snap or cut the dry stem ends off each asparagus, and place them on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on them, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and toss them. Roast the asparagus until it is tender, which will take about eight to ten minutes, depending on how thick your asparagus is. Cool it slightly, and serve it warm or at room temperature.
