Southwestern Beef Tenderloin With Chipotle Mashed Potatoes Recipe 55

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in salted water in a saucepan over high heat, 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, return potatoes to the pan, and dry briefly over medium heat. Off heat, mash potatoes to desired consistency, then add the buttermilk, scallions, butter, chiles, and salt. Keep warm over very low heat. Combine brown sugar, salt, and spices for the steaks in a bowl. Press mixture onto both sides of filets. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a sauté pan over medium-high, add the steaks, and sauté 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove filets from pan and keep warm. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil over medium-high in second sauté pan. Add tomatoes and cook until blistered, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Steps to Success: 1. Add buttermilk to the cooked potatoes for a creamy texture. 2. Make sure skillet is hot, then sear filets quickly, 2-3 minutes per side. Watch so they don't burn. 3. Sauté the tomatoes first, then add the spinach and toss it until it wilts, 2-3 minutes.

Steps:

• (One can and should use leftover mashed potatoes, but still add the eggs and flour. That was how we invented this dish). Preheat a fryer to 350 degrees. In a saucepan, add potatoes and fill with cold water. Add a little salt. Slowly boil potatoes for 30 to 40 minutes until potatoes come cleanly off of a paring knife. In another hot saucepan coated with oil, caramelize garlic than add thyme and cream. Reduce cream by 30 percent. In a mixing bowl with paddle attachment, add hot potatoes and garlic cream. Mix together until smooth. Add butter, salt and pepper and check for seasoning. Let cool. Whisk together the eggs and flour until smooth. Mix with the cool mash. Season both pieces of beef well with salt and pepper. Coat with 1/2-inch of potato puree. Dredge the coated beef in flour, then eggs, then panko. Deep fry until golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes, the beef will be rare to medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
