Preparation method

Prep: 25 mins | Cook: 20 mins

1. For the beef tenderloin: heat the butter, season and saute medallions to your preference. I like mine medium. Take them out of the pan and reserve on a plate.
2. Saute the onions and mushrooms in the same pan for about 4 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and Four Roses(R) bourbon. Ignite with the flame of your stove and turn down the heat. Step back from the pan when you ignite it.
3. Add the reserved filets and bring to a simmer. Reserve.
4. For the jumbo shrimp: Heat the butter, season shrimp with salt and pepper, and saute on each side until firm to the touch. Take them out of the pan and reserve on a plate.
5. Saute the onions in the same pan for about 2 minutes. Add the Four Roses(R) whiskey, ignite with the flame of your stove, and turn down the heat. Step back from the pan when you ignite it.
6. Add the heavy cream and turn down the heat. Add the reserved shrimp and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer. Reserve.
7. For the couscous: Place couscous and currants in a large bowl. Pour boiling chicken stock over top, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove cover, add toasted almonds and parsley, and fluff with a fork until combined. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
8. Garnish: Baby corn on the cob, red and yellow lightly sautéed bell peppers, and rosemary sprigs.
9. Presentation: Use a Jell-O mold ring to form the couscous in and put in center of plate. Inside the ring, style the tenderloin on one half sides and the shrimp on the other half side. Garnish with the ingredients listed under garnish.
