1 1/2 pounds grass fed beef tenderloin

1 bunch chives

1 basket organic cherry tomatoes

4 basil blooms

1 10 ounce package of mushrooms

6 russet potatoes, diced

1 cup sour cream (full fat)

4 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons canola oil

Kosher salt

Black Pepper

3 tablespoons organic unbleached flour

4 cups organic beef broth

4 large garlic cloves

1 medium onion

Boil pot of water add salt and potatoes, cook through until done. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to taste. Set aside while beef is being prepared.

Season the beef with 1 tsp. salt and 3/4 tsp. pepper. Heat 2 tsp. of the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add half of the beef and cook, stirring often, until the meat is just browned, about 1 minute; do not overcook. Transfer to a plate and repeat with 2 tsp. of the oil and the remaining beef.

Remove the skillet from the heat. Add 1 Tbs. of the butter and the remaining 2 tsp. oil to the skillet and stir until the butter melts. Put the skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the onions are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes more.

Sprinkle the mushroom mixture with the flour and stir for 15 seconds. Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits in the skillet with a wooden spoon. Add the sour cream and whisk until the sauce is smooth. Add the beef and any juices from the plate to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is barely simmering. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve the beef stroganoff over the mashed potatoes, sprinkled with the chives and place basil bloom strategically, cut and place cherry tomatoes for extra color.
