Steps

  1. 1

    Start with the wine reduction. Melt half the butter in a pan and sauté finely chopped shallot until golden. Add the wine and salt, and cook over high heat for a few minutes. Add the remaining butter and flour, then let it reduce by two-thirds. Strain the sauce.

  2. 2

    For the chocolate sauce: Melt the chocolate with the butter in a double boiler, stirring, and slowly add the Marsala wine. Let it thicken at room temperature.

  3. 3

    Mix the ground coffee with the sugar and coat the edges of the beef tenderloin with this mixture.

  4. 4

    Cook the tenderloin in a pan with a pat of butter for 2 minutes on each side. Let it rest covered with aluminum foil for a few minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve topped with the chocolate sauce.

Per me la cucina è fantasia, creatività è mettersi in gioco creando e sperimentando piatti sempre nuovi... Senza mai dimenticarsi delle tradizioni.Tra lavoro, casa e 2 figli il tempo è sempre troppo pico, ma la cucina è la mia valvola di sfogo e un modo per far imparare qualcosa anche ai bimbi, che spesso mi aiutano 😉
