Ingredients

4 servings
Beef tenderloin250 g
Ghee20 g
Fresh ginger1 tsp
Fresh chives2 tbsp
Flat-leaf parsley1 tbsp
Lemon zest0.5 tsp
Lemon juice1 tsp
Beef bone broth60 ml
Colatura di Alici0.5 tsp
Flaked sea saltto taste
Freshly ground black pepperto taste

Method

1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high. Pat the beef tenderloin aggressively dry with paper towels. Season generously with flaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2
Heat an oven-safe cast iron pan or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat on the stovetop until smoking. Add the ghee.
3
Carefully place the tenderloin into the hot pan. Sear undisturbed for 1.5 minutes per side until a deep, crusty Maillard reaction forms.
4
Transfer the pan to the preheated broiler. Broil for 2-3 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
5
Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board and let it rest, tented loosely with foil, for 5-7 minutes. This is crucial for juiciness.
6
While the beef rests, prepare the gremolata: In a small bowl, combine grated ginger, minced chives, minced parsley, and lemon zest.
7
Gently warm the reduced beef bone broth with colatura di alici and lemon juice. This forms a delicate, umami-rich 'jus'.
8
Thinly slice the rested tenderloin against the grain into medallions. Arrange on a serving plate.
9
Spoon the warm ginger-chive gremolata over the medallions, then drizzle with the umami jus. Serve immediately.
