Beef Loin, Trimmed 1 Idaho Potato 1 Shallot, Minced 3 oz. red wine 3 oz. beef stock 1 gallon peanut oil ½tbsp. butter PREPARATION 1. Cut Idaho potato into ¼inch sticks, and rinse in cold water and pat dry. 2. Bring peanut oil to 300 degrees. Carefully place fries in oil and blanch until barely soft - about 3 minutes. Place on cooling rack. 3. Heat sauté pan and add a splash of olive oil. Season beef loin and sear in pan 2-3 minutes on each side, sealing in the juices and flavor. Remove beef from pan, going for a nice medium rare, set to rest and stop the juices from flowing to keep in the flavor until cut. 4. To make a pan sauce, immediately add shallots to beef pan to caramelize beef juices, then add red wine to deglaze. Let simmer until reduced by half, add beef stock and simmer until deep brown and reduce by half. Whisk in butter, giving the sauce a syrupy consistency. 5. Place blanched fries back in oil and crisp about 2 minutes. Toss with salt and pepper, slice beef loin and drizzle pan sauce over beef. © Unica Online
