Peel and cut the Russet Potato (2) in half lengthwise. Next, cut potato halves crosswise into 4 pieces to yield 16 equal chunks and place in a medium saucepot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
When very tender, approximately 20 minutes, remove from heat, drain in colander and return to pot with lid to keep warm. In a small bowl, stir Beef Bouillon Cube (1) with 1/2 cup of warm water to make broth, set aside.
Step 3
Meanwhile, wipe the Cremini Mushroom (4 ounce) with a damp paper towel and cut into quarters. Remove stems if desired. Finely chop the Garlic (1 clove), set aside. Mince Fresh Chives (6 stalk) and set aside for garnish.

Remove leaves from Fresh Thyme (0.25 ounce) and chop; discard stems and set aside. Dice the Bacon (1 slice) into 1/4-inch pieces, set aside. Pat dry the Beef Tenderloin (1 pound) with paper towels and cut into 1 inch cubes, approximately 16 pieces.
Step 5
Season beef with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pinch of pepper, set aside.
Step 6
Fill a second medium saucepot with 5 cups of water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, heat a 3-inch deep large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 pats of Butter (to taste) and heat until melted.
