Decadent Deep-Fried Chocolate Hazelnut Beef Bites

Ingredients

- Beef Tenderloin – 1 pound, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Sea Salt – 1 teaspoon
- Milk Chocolate – 8 ounces, finely chopped
- Hazelnut Cream – 1/2 cup
- Sesame Seeds – 1/4 cup
- Vegetable Oil – For deep frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef:
- Lightly season the beef tenderloin pieces with sea salt. Allow them to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to let the salt penetrate.

2. Prepare the Chocolate Hazelnut Coating:
- In a double boiler, melt the milk chocolate over simmering water, stirring continuously until smooth.
- Remove from heat and mix in the hazelnut cream until thoroughly combined.
- Allow the chocolate hazelnut mixture to cool slightly, ensuring it remains viscous.

3. Coat the Beef:
- Dip each beef piece into the chocolate hazelnut mixture, ensuring it is completely covered. Use a fork for clean handling, if necessary.

4. Prepare for Frying:
- Spread sesame seeds on a flat plate. Roll each coated beef piece in the sesame seeds, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.

5. Deep Fry:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.
- Carefully add the sesame-coated beef bites into the hot oil in small batches to prevent overcrowding. Fry for approximately 2–3 minutes or until the sesame seeds turn golden and the coating is crisp.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef bites and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. Serve:
- Serve the deep-fried chocolate hazelnut beef bites warm, ideally as an adventurous dessert offering that balances savory and sweet flavors.
