Beef Tournedos with Morel Sauce and Quinoa

Method

1. 1

   If the morels are dehydrated, soak them for 30 min in warm water, then drain, reserving the liquid.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the morels over fairly high heat for 5 min.

3. 3

   Season with salt and pepper, pour in the white wine and the crème fraîche. Lower the heat and leave to simmer gently while the meat cooks.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, cook the quinoa in a saucepan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, then drain.

5. 5

   Heat a frying pan with a knob of butter. When very hot, sear the tournedos and cook to your liking.

6. 6

   To intensify the flavour, pour the morel sauce into the meat pan and stir to collect the cooking juices.

7. 7

   Plate up the tournedos with the quinoa and coat generously with the morel sauce.
