  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling to find things while you're cooking.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality meats and cheeses.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Beef tenderloin is a delicate cut of meat, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. Overcooking will make the steak tough and chewy.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Black forest beef can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, asparagus, or roasted vegetables.
