BEEF PAILLARD
Steps:
- Place tenderloin in the freezer for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Remove the tenderloin from the freezer. Using an electric knife, cut the beef into 3/8-inch thick slices. Place slices of beef, 1 at a time, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Squirt the beef lightly with water and squirt the top of the plastic wrap as well. Pound to no less than 1/8-inch thickness. Lightly brush each slice of beef on both sides with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and turn skillet upside down over burner. Brush the pan lightly with oil. Place 2 to 3 slices of beef on the pan at a time and sear for 10 seconds on each side. Remove to an ovenproof platter and keep in warm oven. Repeat until all of the beef has been cooked. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Season chicken paillards on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter foams.

Raise heat to medium-high, and repeat with two remaining paillards.
- Add shallot to skillet, and cook over medium heat, adding oil or butter as needed, stirring often, until golden, about 1 minute. Raise heat to medium-high. Add lemon segments and juice, chicken stock, and any plate juices, and deglaze the pan, scraping brown bits from bottom with a wooden spoon. Simmer until sauce reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Gradually stir in remaining 2 to 3 tablespoons butter until just melted. Season to taste.

Steps:
- Prepare grill.
- Make a bouquet garni by wrapping parsley, thyme, and bay leaf in cheesecloth and tying it closed with kitchen string. Thinly slice shallots. In a heavy 3- to 4-quart saucepan heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté shallots with bouquet garni, stirring, until shallots are golden. Add Port and deglaze pan, scraping up any brown bits. Add red wine and boil sauce until almost evaporated and reduced to a glaze, about 2 tablespoons. Add stock and boil sauce until slightly thickened and liquid is reduced to about 2/3 cup. Pour sauce through a fine sieve into a small saucepan and discard bouquet garni. Season sauce with pepper and salt and keep warm, covered.
- Pat steaks dry and season with pepper and salt. Grill steaks on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 30 seconds on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, grill steaks in a hot, lightly oiled, well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)
