Chop the wormwood. Trim the tenderloin and vacuum it together with the wormwood and smoked oil. Cook it at 65 °C in a fusionchef water bath for 20 minutes. Remove the meat from the bag, remove the wormwood, and place the meat on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Let the meat rest in the oven at 60 °C for 20 minutes.
Heat the rapeseed oil in a metal pan and sear the meat on all sides. Then let it rest for 5 minutes. Cut the tenderloin into four pieces. Brush the edges with wormwood oil and season the meat with salt and Tellicherry pepper from the mill.
Crème of corn:
Remove the corn from the cob and wash it. Sweat the shallots in butter until opaque. Add the corn to the shallots and season with salt, sugar and curry. Let it stew for approx. 30 minutes until the corn is very soft. Deglaze with white wine vinegar and reduce the liquid. Deglaze with white wine again and reduce the liquid once more. Boil up the sour cream and place it with the corn in a Thermomix. Puree for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve. Season it with salt, sugar and white wine vinegar. Its consistency should be creamy.
Small corn cobs (sous vide):
Vacuum the corn cobs with the butter, salt, sugar and curry in a vacuum bag.
Cook them at 90 °C in a fusionchef water bath for 40 minutes. Then caramelize them in a pan with sugar.
Pearl onions (sous vide):
Peel the pearl onions and vacuum them with the smoked oil and a dash of white wine. Cook them at 90 °C in a fusionchef water bath for approx. 60 minutes. When the pearl onions are soft, cut them in half and brown them with a blow torch.
Red pepper:
Burn the pepper with a blow torch. Wash off the black skin and dry the peppers.
Quarter the peppers. Season them with salt, sugar, white wine vinegar and Pimentón powder and vacuum them. Cook them at 65 °C in a fusionchef water bath until the pepper is soft. Cut the pepper into shape, roll and blow torch them. Season to taste if desired.
