Season two beef tenderloins liberally with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper; set aside to rest.

In a food processor combine a bunch of parsley without stems, an avocado, the juice of a lime, a clove of garlic, kosher salt and pepper; with the motor running stream in a few tablespoons of olive oil so the sauce emulsifies; scrape down and taste.

Spread the sauce, set the steak on it front and centre, top with a dollop of compound butter; add the potatoes, a green salad no taller than the steak, and baby cherry tomatoes; salt and pepper.
