Grilled Tenderloin with Potato Puree
- 4 cups peeled and medium-diced potatoes
- Six 6-to-7-ounce center cut tenderloins
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup clarified or drawn butter
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- Vegetables and sauce of choice, for serving
- Bring a large pot with 8 cups water to a boil over high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until fork soft, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from the stove, drain the potatoes into a colander and allow to completely drain.
- While the potatoes are cooking, preheat a grill to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and black pepper, and begin cooking on the grill.
- Cook the first side 2 to 3 minutes, then flip to the second side and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
- After the second side is cooked, flip back to the first side, cook 2 to 3 more minutes and then finish on the second side for a final 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare to medium.
- This "four side" cooking will result in evenly grilled and cooked steaks.
- After the final cooking, remove from the grill and spoon the clarified butter over the steaks.
- Allow to rest until serving, 3 to 5 minutes.
- The butter will help the steaks stay at the present grilled temperature.
- To finish, add the drained potatoes to a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whisk until the potatoes are broken down, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the room temperature butter, 1 tablespoon salt and the white pepper, and finish mixing on high speed until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Taste and add additional seasoning if preferred.
- Serve the steaks with the potatoes and vegetables and sauce of choice.
