Can someone tell me (simply) what exactly this is...
Pan-fried beef tenderloin, Jerusalem artichoke mousseline and oxtail and foie gras cannelloni.

The tenderloin is the same meat as filet mignon steak. They are probably just using a smaller sized medallion and pan frying them instead of grilling.
Jerusalem artichokes are also called " sunchokes" because the flowers look like sunflowers and the part you eat is the tuberous starchy root which has a flavour similar to artichoke hearts.
Mousseline is a hollandaise sauce with whipped cream, but can the name can also be used for anything with a fluffy mousse texture.
So really it is just some fluffy accompniment made with sunchokes.
The cannelloni is a tubular pasta which has probably been stuffed with a pate-like mixture made of oxtail and goose liver mixture.
So, are you going to try it? Sounds a bit odd, but ya never know!
Bon appetite!

Beef tenderloin is a very tender cut of beef. To be honest I cannot understand why anyone would pan-fry it. Jerusalem artichokes are a type of root vegetable which must be pureed and made into a mousse or sort of pudding type dish. Cannelloni are large tube shaped noodles which is this case seem to be stuffed with a mixture of oxtail and foie gras. Once again, I find this an odd combination and not necessarily the best way to use these exquisite ingredients.
