Week 3 Shopping & Prep Tips: Beef Tenderloin Main Course
This week’s main course is all about flavor and presentation. Here’s your shopping list and prep-ahead guide for a stress-free dinner:
Shopping List (Serves 4):
4 beef tenderloin filets (or 1 whole tenderloin, trimmed and portioned)
2 tbsp butter (plus 1 tbsp for sauce)
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1 fresh rosemary sprig
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 oz lingonberry jam (get it here)
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp Better Than Beef Bouillon (get it here)
Salt & cracked black pepper
Prep-Ahead Tips:
Marinate beef filets in butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary for extra flavor.
Make Merlot-Lingonberry Sauce in advance; it keeps well and reheats gently.
Measure ingredients for sauce and seasonings in advance to simplify assembly.
If sous-vide cooking, seal filets in vacuum bags ahead of time.
Why You’ll Love This Main:
