4 6 ounce Braveheart Center-Cut Tenderloin Filets, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
8 cups romaine lettuce, washed and cut to smaller pieces
1 cup croutons
⅓ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tbsp dijon mustard
10 small capers
1 egg room temperature
2 anchovy filets or 1 tsp anchovy paste
black pepper to taste
½ cup light olive oil or canola oil
¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
To a blender, add garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, capers, egg, anchovy filets, and pepper.
Blend ingredients until consistency is smooth. Change to low speed and drizzle olive oil in a thin slow stream (this should take a few minutes).
Add parmesan cheese and pulse to combine. Refrigerate until using.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Pat steaks dry. Season both sides very generously with salt and pepper.
Over medium-high to high heat, heat a large cast-iron skillet. Add olive oil and butter. Add steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes per side. Spoon butter over steaks as they cook.
Insert an oven-safe thermometer and set an alarm for desired temperature (remember the temperature will rise about 3-5 degrees as the steaks rest). Put steaks in the oven and bake until they reach the desired temperature. This will take between 6-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the steaks and how hot you want them.
Remove from skillet and let rest for 10 minutes.
In a large salad bowl, combine lettuce, croutons and parmesan cheese. Add dressing and toss.
Top with steak and additional parmesan cheese and serve.
