Tournedos are some of the most delicious things you can make with beef tenderloin, where the meat really shines. Here, Brian Mark, head chef at Søllerød Kro, guides you on how to sear your tournedos perfectly in a pan.
The guiding principle from Brian Mark is: Searing time equals resting time. This means that if you have seared your steaks for six minutes, they should also rest for six minutes - hear more about why in the video.
Do you have a whole beef tenderloin that you need to cut into tournedos? Then Brian Mark also shows you in the video how to prepare it.
