The Dish: Filet Mignon Churrasco

Ingredients:

1 lb. of filet mignon
1 Tbs. of garlic, minced
1 cup of parsley, chopped

1/4 cup of sherry vinegar
1 cup of malbec wine, reduced
1 lb. of heirloom tomatoes
5 fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup of blue cheese

Method of Preparation:

-Start by cutting the filet mignon to thin slice. Try to imitate a skirt steak style cut.

-Then, in a bowl combine minced garlic, parsley and extra virgin olive oil. Spread this over the meat and let it marinate in the refrigerator for two hours.

-Next, season the steak with salt and grill.

-Now, prepare a chimichurri sauce. In a bowl, add garlic, parsley, extra virgin olive oil, red jalapeno pepper, sherry vinegar, a pinch of kosher salt, and a little red wine reduction. Chef Horacio likes to reduce malbec wine.

-Lastly, make a tomato salad. Slice heirloom tomatoes into wedges. Then, mix the tomatoes with basil, salt, extra virgin olive oil and sherry vinegar.

To Plate:

First, serve the tomato salad. Then, add blue cheese on top. You can serve the filet mignon on the side and top it with the chimichurri sauce.

Serves: 1
