Grill steaks, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting frequently with remaining sauce. , Just before serving, brush steaks with reserved sauce.

OVEN-SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat the steaks very dry with paper towels; season both sides with salt and pepper. Allow steaks to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes while the oven pre-heats.
• Heat a 10-inch cast iron pan over medium-high heat for about one minute. Add the oil to pan and swirl to evenly distribute the oil. Place the steaks in the pan, allowing room between steaks. Cook without moving steaks for 2 minutes. Using tongs, lift the steaks and flip them over. If properly seared the steaks should release easily, without sticking to the pan. Immediately place cast iron pan into the hot oven.
• Cook steaks until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove skillet from oven and transfer steaks to a warm plate lightly tented with foil. (The internal temperature of the steaks will increase by about 5 degrees while resting.)
• Melt unsalted butter in the same skillet over low heat; add diced shallots. Cook and stir, releasing the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Stir in the deli mustard.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk in Swanson® Beef Stock and Worcestershire sauce, continuing to scrape up browned bits from the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Whisk in the cream; simmer until sauce clings to the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley, chives, thyme, and oregano.
• Spoon the herb sauce over steaks; serve immediately.

BEEF TENDERLOIN TOURNEDOS WITH HERBY MATCHSTICK FRITES

Steps:

• For the tournedos: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the beef medallions on both sides with salt and black pepper. When the pan is hot, add the medallions and sear on both sides, cooking until the desired temperature is reached. Remove from the pan and let rest.
• Reduce the heat under the pan to medium. Add the mushrooms, cut side down, and the green peppercorns and shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to brown and the shallots become translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cognac. Replace the pan to the burner, and carefully tip to flambé. (If you don't wish to flambé, just bring the sauce to a boil and reduce to a simmer.) Once the flame has burned out, add the demi-glace, mustard and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes. Stir in the cream and reduce until the sauce is thick and rich in color, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the beef medallions to the sauce, spooning sauce over so they are submerged. Remove the pan from the heat; stir in the butter and add some parsley. Keep warm.
• For the matchstick frites: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven to 365 degrees F.
• Add the rosemary, sage, thyme and garlic and fry until the herbs are crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Using a mandoline, cut the potatoes into matchsticks and place in a large bowl of ice water to remove any starch. Let soak for a few minutes, then rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the matchsticks and pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove as much water as possible.
• Fry the matchsticks in small batches until crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle immediately with salt to taste.
• Transfer the frites to a large bowl and toss with the crispy herbs and more salt to taste.
• Serve the tournedos with the frites.
