Ingredients & Benefits:

1. Butter (or Tallow)

   • Benefit: Both butter and tallow provide rich, healthy fats. Grass-fed butter is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), while tallow is high in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K, and supports overall hormone balance and energy levels.

2. Beef Tenderloin Steaks

   • Benefit: Beef tenderloin is one of the most tender cuts of meat, high in high-quality protein, iron, and vitamin B12. It supports muscle growth, energy levels, and overall vitality, making it a perfect base for this indulgent dish.

3. Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper

   • Benefit: Sea salt enhances the natural flavors of the steak, while black pepper contains piperine, which helps improve digestion and metabolism. Together, they form a flavorful base for the dish.

4. Shallot

   • Benefit: Shallots provide a delicate, sweet onion flavor and are a good source of vitamins (C, B6, folate) and antioxidants. They support immune health and add depth to the sauce without being overpowering.

5. Mushrooms

   • Benefit: Mushrooms are low in calories but rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like selenium, which supports immune function and fights inflammation. They also add a savory umami flavor to the sauce, complementing the steak.

6. Cloves of Garlic

   • Benefit: Garlic contains sulfur compounds that have been shown to support heart health, immune function, and detoxification. It also adds a robust, aromatic flavor to the sauce.

7. Sprigs of Thyme

   • Benefit: Thyme is an aromatic herb that provides antioxidant properties, supports digestion, and has anti-inflammatory effects. It enhances the overall flavor profile of the sauce and complements the beef tenderloin.

8. Beef Bone Broth

   • Benefit: Bone broth is rich in collagen, amino acids, and minerals, which support joint health, skin elasticity, and gut function. It helps create a rich, savory base for the sauce.

9. (Grain-Free) Dijon Mustard

   • Benefit: Dijon mustard adds a tangy, sharp flavor that balances the richness of the steak and cream. It also contains antioxidants and may aid digestion.

10. Gluten-Free Worcestershire Sauce

    • Benefit: This sauce adds a deep, savory umami flavor to the dish. It contains a mix of vinegar, molasses, and spices, contributing to the complexity of the sauce without any gluten or harmful additives.

11. Coconut Aminos

    • Benefit: Coconut aminos are a gluten-free, soy-free alternative to soy sauce, providing a savory and slightly sweet flavor. It's rich in amino acids and supports a healthy gut and immune system.

12. Champagne Vinegar

    • Benefit: Champagne vinegar adds a light, crisp acidity that helps balance the richness of the beef and cream. It can also support digestion and provide a refreshing note in the sauce.

13. Heavy Cream (or Coconut Cream)

    • Benefit: Heavy cream provides a rich, velvety texture and a creamy taste, adding luxurious body to the sauce. Alternatively, coconut cream offers a dairy-free option, with a hint of tropical flavor and healthy fats.

14. Fresh Parsley

    • Benefit: Parsley is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, and provides antioxidants that support immune health. It also adds a fresh, bright contrast to the rich flavors of the steak and sauce.
