Ingredients

600 g (1 1/3 lb) beef tenderloin
30 mL(2 tbsp) flour

75 mL (1/3 cup) white wine

  2. On a work surface, cut the beef into 4 equal slices. Pound lightly to flatten. Flour and set aside.
  3. In an oven-proof pan, fry the beef in the oil until lightly browned. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Keep warm.
  4. In the same pan, brown the garlic lightly. Deglaze with the wine immediately to prevent the garlic from burning.

  7. Place a slice of cheese on each piece of meat and place the pan in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese.
