Method

Put the morels in warm water and leave them to soak for 30 minutes. Drain, cut them in half, then place them in fresh warm water. Repeat until the water is clear.
Peel and finely chop the shallots. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the shallots and let them sweat for a few moments.
Stir in the morels and leave to cook for about ten minutes. Pour in the white wine and leave to simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes.
Blend the contents of the saucepan, pour in the cream and add the reserved morels. Reheat gently.
Oil a very hot frying pan and cook the tournedos to your liking. Once ready, spoon plenty of sauce over them.
Serve very hot, with sautéed potatoes.
