Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a rack in the top position. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Slice the potatoes into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Halve the grape tomatoes.
- On one side of a baking sheet, toss the Brussels sprouts with a generous drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange them cut side down. On the empty side, toss the potato rounds with olive oil, half the Tuscan Heat Spice (use all for 4 servings), salt and pepper. Arrange the rounds slightly overlapping, then sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese.
- Roast until the vegetables are browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook to your desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- Heat another drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced shallot and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the halved tomatoes and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, beef stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings). Simmer until slightly thickened and saucy, 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon butter along with any resting juices from the beef.
- Divide the roasted Brussels sprouts, potato rounds and beef tenderloin among plates. Spoon the burst balsamic tomato sauce over the beef and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For even cooking, let the beef tenderloin come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before searing.
Arrange the potato rounds in a single layer with slight overlapping to ensure they crisp up nicely.
If you don’t have Tuscan Heat Spice, substitute with a mix of dried oregano, thyme, rosemary and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
FAQ
Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, you can substitute beef tenderloin with filet mignon, sirloin steak or ribeye. Adjust cooking time based on thickness and desired doneness.
What can I use instead of Tuscan Heat Spice?
Tuscan Heat Spice is a blend of herbs and spices. You can make your own by combining equal parts dried oregano, thyme, rosemary and a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne.
Can I prepare this dish in advance?
The roasted vegetables can be made ahead and reheated in the oven. The beef is best cooked fresh, but you can prep the ingredients (trim Brussels sprouts, slice potatoes, halve tomatoes) up to a day in advance.
