Ingredients:

  • 1 (3/4-lb) piece gruyere , rind discarded
  • 4 slices canadian bacon
  • 1 veal tenderloin (1 1/4 lb), trimmed and cut crosswise into 4 equal pieces (tournedos)
  • 1/2 cup creme fraiche

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Using a cheese planer or a sharp knife, cut 4 thin slices (4- by 2-inch) from Gruyère.
  3. Cook bacon in a ovenproof 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, turning once, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes total, and transfer to a plate. (Do not clean skillet.)
  4. Pat veal dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat butter in skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté tournedos until browned, about 4 minutes total. (Veal will be only partially cooked.)
  5. Remove skillet from heat and put a slice of bacon, then cheese and crème fraîche, on each tournedos. Roast in middle of oven, uncovered, until cheese begins to melt, 8 to 10 minutes. (Veal should be slightly pink inside.)
  6. Transfer tournedos to plates. Whisk pan juices until blended, season with salt and pepper, then divide among plates.
