Vegan Tournedos Henri IV

[Vegan Filet Steaks with Artichoke Bottoms and Vegan Béarnaise Sauce]

...since you start this recipe with filet steaks...I made Tracy's recipe from A Veg*n for Dinner...just blended up the wet ingredients...

...and mixed them with the dry ingredients...

...formed them into filets...and wrapped them tightly in foil...

...and baked them in the oven...

...then you sauté them in some oil and vegan butter...

...make some Vegan Canapés - Croutons...

...place the vegan filet on top...

...then you'll need some Vegan Sauce Béarnaise...

...it's a type of Hollandaise sauce...

...top your filet with artichoke...it's supposed to be a 'bottom'...but those are not available here...and fresh ones are not an option right now either...but if you have access to those...there's a recipe for that as well...VEGAN FOND D'ARTICHAUTS À BLANC...

...finally pour over the béarnaise sauce...

Vegan Tournedos Henri IV ...and then Julia says to 'decorate' the plate with asaparagus and hot potatoes...

...and an absolutely delicious Christmas dinner was served...
