Include The Culinary Institute of America’s Blue Cheese Crusted Tenderloin of Beef with Potato Gratin on the menu to round out your New Year’s festivities. When served on a pool of warm Madeira sauce alongside a slice of Gruyère-enriched potatoes, the delicate medallion of beef will melt in your mouth.
3 Tbs  butter, softened
3 Tbs  all-purpose flour
3 cups  beef broth
6 Tbs  Madeira wine
2 1/4 lbs  beef tenderloin
1/4 cup  breadcrumbs
6 Tbs  blue cheese
1/4 cup  parsley
1/4 cup  chives
1/4 tsp  black peppercorns, crushed
1 Tbs  olive oil
   Potatoes Gratin - see recipe
 

Combine the butter and flour together.

Bring the beef broth and Madeira to a boil. Whisk in the butter and flour mixture until completely dissolved. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the liquid is thickened and reduced by half. While the sauce is simmering, preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray the rack of a roasting pan with nonstick spray and place in the pan.

Slice the tenderloin into 6 portions that are approximately 3 inches in diameter and 1-½ inches thick. Tie butcher’s twine around the beef medallions so they maintain their shape while cooking, if desired.

Combine the breadcrumbs, blue cheese, parsley, chives and pepper to form a paste.

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Sear the medallions until just browned, 2-3 minutes on each side. Arrange the medallions in a roasting pan. Coat the top of each medallion with 3 tablespoons of the blue cheese crust mixture.

Roast until the crust is golden brown and the meat is cooked as desired, about 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, depending on the size of the medallions. Be sure to remove the butcher’s twine if it was used. Serve the medallions on a pool of the warm Madeira sauce.
