Beef Tenderloin Roast Food

EASY & ELEGANT TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix the oil, garlic, salt and pepper; rub over roast., Roast until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 45-65 minutes. Remove from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Turn small end of beef under about 6 inches. Tie turned-under portion of beef with string at about 1 1/2-inch intervals. Place beef on rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush with oil. Sprinkle with pepper, marjoram and salt. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of beef.
• Bake uncovered 40 to 50 minutes or until thermometer reads at least 140°F. Cover beef with tent of aluminum foil and let stand about 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°, and beef will be easier to carve.) Remove string from beef before carving.

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 5 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
• While the liquid is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and soften in the microwave, if necessary (it should be soft but not melted). Add the flour and, using a small spoon, mix into a smooth paste.
• Once the wine mixture is reduced, reduce the heat to low and remove the thyme sprigs. Whisk the flour-butter paste, a teaspoonful at a time, into the simmering liquid, and simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Set aside. (The sauce can be made up to this point and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead of time.)
• Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Season the beef all over with kosher salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Cook, turning with tongs, until well browned on all but one side, about 10 minutes total. Turn the tenderloin so that the un-seared side is down, and transfer the skillet directly to the preheated oven. (If your pan isn't oven-proof, transfer the beef to a lightly oiled roasting pan.) Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 120°F-125° for medium rare, about 15 minutes, or until done to your liking (115°F-120°F for rare, 130°F-135°F for medium). Keep in mind that these temperatures account for the fact that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees while the meat rests.
• Transfer the meat to a carving board (preferably with a well for collecting juices) and let it rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Place a dishtowel or oven mitt over the handle of the roasting pan to remind yourself that it's hot.
• Meanwhile, carefully discard the fat from the roasting pan (remember that the handle is hot!). Set the pan on the stovetop and add the ¼ cup of beef broth. Bring the broth to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape the fond, or brown bits, from the bottom of the pan. Add the flavorful broth to the red wine sauce, and then bring the sauce to a simmer.
• Carve the tenderloin into ⅓-inch-thick slices. Serve the beef, passing the red wine sauce at the table.

PERFECT BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Remove the meat from the fridge an hour before you plan to start cooking it.
• Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup) and fit it with a wire rack.
• Pat the beef dry with paper towels. If one end is thinner than the other, tuck it underneath and tie with butcher's twine to make sure the roast cooks evenly. You can also ask your butcher to tie it for you.
• Mix the olive oil and the spices, then use your clean hands to rub the beef all over with the mixture.
• Place the tenderloin on the wire rack. Insert a meat thermometer into its thickest part. Place it in the oven and roast it for 15 minutes in the 500°F oven.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Continue roasting until the meat thermometer registers 130 degrees F (medium-rare), about 20 more minutes.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Loosely cover it with foil and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
• Gently remove the butcher twine (you can cut it with kitchen scissors then gently pull it out of the meat), slice, and serve.

GARLIC HERB BUTTER BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Remove the beef tenderloin roast from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Trim the silver skin (a thin, white layer that should be removed before cooking) and tie the beef tenderloin. If one end is more tapered than the other, bend it under the roast and secure it when tying so the roast is an even thickness throughout.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pat the beef tenderloin dry and season by sprinkling with salt and pepper on all sides. Prepare the garlic herb butter by combining the butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mashing with a fork. Divide in half, setting part of the garlic herb butter aside in a separate bowl for after the roast is done cooking.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the roast into the skillet and let it sear on each of three sides for 2-3 minutes. Turn the roast over with tongs to the final side, then turn off the heat and rub the beef tenderloin all over with half of the garlic herb butter mixture.
• Transfer the beef tenderloin to the oven in the skillet it was seared in, or place in a roasting pan first if you don't have an oven-safe skillet.
• Cook for 25-35 minutes, depending on the size of your roast, until an oven-safe meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers between 135 and 140 degrees F for medium doneness. The temperature of the meat will continue to rise another 5 degrees after it is removed from the oven while it is resting before slicing.
• While the meat cooks, combine all of the ingredients for the horseradish sauce in a bowl and keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Remove the beef tenderloin roast from the oven and slather with the reserved garlic herb butter mixture, then let the meat rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with horseradish sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 5 tablespoons of butter. Add the shallots and cook stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper, and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 35-45 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
• While the wine mixture is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of softened butter in a small bowl and add the flour. Mix the butter and flour until a smooth paste is formed.
• Once the wine mixture is reduced, remove it from the heat and strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl or measuring pitcher, discard the solids then return the wine mixture to the saucepan.
• Return the saucepan to the stove and simmer over medium-low heat. Gradually, whisk in the flour mixture and allow the sauce to simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.You can make the sauce up to this point 2 days in advanced.
• Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator about an hour before roasting and allow it to sit at room temperature.
• Using a thin sharp knife (like a utility or paring knife), trim the silver skin (the silver thin membrane of chewy connective tissue on the beef surface). Then, tie the tenderloin. If one end is more tapered than the other, bend it under the roast and secure it when tying so the roast is an even thickness throughout.
• Pat dry the beef tenderloin and season it generously with salt and ground black pepper. Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Heat a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is hot, place the roast in the skillet and sear, turning with tongs until golden brown and all but one side. Turn the roast over with tongs to the unseared side and turn off the heat.
• Transfer the skillet to the pre-heated oven and roast for about 15 minutes, depending on the size of your roast, until an oven-safe meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 120 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. The temperature of the meat will continue to rise about 5 degrees after it is removed from the oven while it is resting, before slicing.
• Transfer the beef roast to a cutting board or platter and allow it to rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, carefully discard some of the fat from the skillet. Set the pan on the stovetop and add the 1/4 cup of beef broth. Bring to a boil and using a wooden spoon scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and add the broth from the skillet to the red wine sauce. Mix to combine and then bring the sauce to a simmer over low heat for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Slice the beef tenderloin and serve with the wine sauce.

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
• Rinse meat well. Trim away some of the fat to remove the silvery cartilage underneath. With a very sharp knife, begin taking the fat off the top, revealing the silver cartilage underneath. You definitely don't want to take every last bit of fat off-not at all. As with any cut of meat, a little bit of fat adds to the flavor. (Hint: you can also ask the butcher to do this trimming for you if the process seems intimidating.)
• Sprinkle meat generously with Lawry's. You can much more liberally season a tenderloin, because you're having to pack more of a punch in order for the seasoning to make an impact. Start with Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Rub it in with your fingers. Sprinkle both sides generously with lemon & pepper seasoning. (There are no measurements because it depends on your taste, but be sure to season liberally.)
• Place the peppercorns in a Ziploc bag, and with a mallet or a hammer or a large, heavy can, begin smashing the peppercorns to break them up a bit. Set aside.
• Heat some olive oil in a heavy skillet. When the oil is to the smoking point, place the tenderloin in the very hot pan to sear it. Throw a couple of tablespoons of butter into the skillet to give it a nice little butter injection before going in the oven. A minute or two later, when one side is starting to turn nice and brown, flip and repeat.
• Place the tenderloin on an oven pan with a rack. Sprinkle the pummeled peppercorns all over the meat. Press the pepper onto the surface of the meat. Put several tablespoons of butter all over the meat. Stick the long needle of the thermometer lengthwise into the meat. Place it in a 475-degree oven until the temperature reaches just under 140 degrees, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stay near the oven and keep checking the meat thermometer to make sure it doesn't overcook.
• Let meat stand 10 minutes or so before slicing, so the meat will have a chance to relax a bit.
• To serve, you can spoon the olive oil/butter juices from the skillet onto the top of the meat for a little extra flavor.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F In a roasting pan, toss shallots with oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

• In a large saucepan, combine beef broth and wine. Bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until the volume is reduced by half, about 30 minutes (mine took 20). Whisk in tomato paste. Set aside.
• Pat beef dry. Tie up roast to that it will cook evenly. Sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. (Sure seems like a lotta salt, use Salt-Free Montreal Steak Seasoning instead). In a large roasting pan, set over medium heat on the stove top, sauté bacon until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels. Add beef to pan; brown on all sides over medium high heat, about 7 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven. Roast beef at 350°F until meat thermometer inserted into center registers 125°F for medium rare, about 25 minutes/pound. (Start checking with a meat thermometer after 1 hour). Transfer beef to platter. Tent loosely with foil.
• Spoon fat off top of pan drippings in roasting pan. Place pan over high heat on stove top. Add broth mixture, and bring to boil, stir to scrape up any browned bits. Transfer to a medium saucepan, and bring to simmer. Mix 1-1/2 tablespoons butter and flour in small bowl to form smooth paste; whisk into broth mixture, and simmer until sauce thickens. Whisk in remaining butter. Stir in roasted shallots, and crumble the bacon. Season with salt (?) and pepper.
• Cut beef into 1/2 inch thick slices. Spoon some sauce over.
• Serve with a green salad and roasted vegetables.

PEPPERCORN ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Place the tenderloin on a roasting rack. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and sugar, which will deepen the savory flavors.
• Press the crushed peppercorns all over the surface of the meat. Insert a meat thermometer and place in the oven until the beef registers 120 to 125 degrees F for medium-rare/rare. Beef will probably cook in 20 to 25 minutes depending on its temp before it goes in the oven.
• While the meat is roasting, melt the butter with the garlic in a small skillet, and allow the butter to slightly brown. Remove the garlic and discard.
• Remove the meat when it's done and pour the garlic butter over gently (it should sizzle when it hits the meat). Cover the meat loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN

• Combine porcini mushrooms and water in a bowl; soak until soft, 1 hour. Drain and reserve liquid. Dice and set mushrooms and reserved liquid aside.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Place beef in the skillet; cook until brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 tablespoon butter, shallots, and a pinch of salt; cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour tarragon vinegar into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits off of the bottom. Stir until liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Pour in veal stock, cream, 1/2 cup reserved mushroom liquid, mushrooms, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Return beef to the skillet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until meat is medium rare, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer meat to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Set skillet over high heat and bring pan juices to a boil.
• Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and tarragon; season with salt and pepper to taste. Return tenderloin and any accumulated juices to skillet and serve.

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, place in the skillet and sear on all sides. Remove the skillet from the heat.Brush the top and sides of the roast with the mustard; sprinkle with the rosemary, salt and pepper. Place the skillet in the oven and roast about 20 to 25 minutes for rare to medium-rare beef, and 25 to 28 minutes for medium-rare to medium (see Note).Transfer the beef to a plate, tent with foil and let rest while you make the sauce.Place the stock and flour in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and then set on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the wine to the skillet and cook until reduced by half. Pour in the stock/flour mixture, bring to a simmer, and simmer until lightly thickened. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and set aside on low heat.Thinly slice the beef, arrange it on a small serving platter and drizzle with some of the sauce. Serve the remaining sauce in a small sauceboat alongside.Note: The best way gauge doneness is to use an instant-read meat thermometer, inserted into the centre of the thickest part of the roast. For a rare roast, remove from oven when internal temperature is 120°F to 125°F; for medium-rare, remove from oven when internal temperature is 130°F; and for medium, remove from oven when internal temperature is 140°F.
