BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND MADEIRA

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat (I make this on my electric frypan).
• Add in the mushrooms; saute until tender (about 10 minutes).
• Add in shallots with HALF the minced garlic; saute for about 3 minutes.
• Add in thyme and season with salt and pepper; transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season steaks with salt and pepper, and add to skillet.
• Cook the steaks to desired doneness (I cook them about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare).
• Transfer the steaks to a plate.
• Add in remaining 1/4 cup shallots and garlic to the same skillet; sate for about 2 minutes.
• Add in Madeira and boil until reduced by half (this should take about 3 minutes).
• Add in broth and boil until the mixture is reduced to about 2/3 cup (this should take about 6 minutes).
• Add in cream and boil for about 2 minutes.
• This is optional, do this only for a thicker sauce: in a small cup using a small whisk, mix together melted butter with 1 tablespoon flour; add to the simmering cream sauce; stir until thickened.
• Stir in the mushroom mixture, and then season the sauce with salt and pepper.
• Return the steaks to skillet and cook until heated through (about 1 minute).
• Transfer to plates and spoon the sauce over.

PERFECT TENDERLOIN STEAK - BALI STYLE

Steps:

• Take your steak out of cooling far ahead of time - If the meat is too cold, it is more likely to sear too slowly and loose its juices.
• Add a pinch of pepper and salt - Salting the meat beforehand adds flavour to the gravy.
• Heat the pan to medium heat and melt the butter - Use a high flame in order for the butter to bubble. Make sure not to burn the butter and do not leave the pan from this point on.
• Add the steaks to the pan as soon as the butter is done bubbling - Keep flame on high, in order for the steaks to sear quickly.
• Turn the steaks over after a minute or so - In order to get them nice and tan all around you have to keep turning the steaks over. Use a set of tongs instead of a fork in order to keep the fluids from flowing out.
• Make sure the gravy does not turn too brown on the high flame - In order to still make sure that the steak is at the proper temperature on the inside, use a lower flame for the last two minutes or so.
• Your steaks are finished if they have a nice all around tan and brown shade.
• Place the steaks onto the plate and add some sambal to the gravy - Mix one tablespoon of sambal through the gravy by stirring it over a low flame.
• Pour the gravy on top of the steak - Allow to sit for a few minutes to let the meat absorb some of the gravy.
• Serve with french fries, a light salad and some white bread to dip into the gravy.

BEEF TENDERLOIN, HUASTECA STYLE

Steps:

• 1. Trim the tenderloin of excess fat and silver skin. Then place the tenderloin on a large piece of plastic wrap and set aside. Make a paste by mashing the garlic with the orange juice, salt, vinegar and olive oil. Rub the mixture all over the meat. Wrap the meat in the plastic wrap and let stand while preparing the seasoning rub. 2. In a small dry skillet, toast the oregano, cumin, and cloves over medium heat, stirring, until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a saucer and let cool then grind very fine in a spice grinder. (I use a coffee grinder reserved for spices.) 3. Put the spices in a bowl and mix in the sugar, pepper, allspice, and cinnamon. Unwrap the meat and coat all over with the seasoning rub. Place the meat on a rack in a baking pan and let stand about 20 minutes. 4. Preheat the oven to 425°. Roast the beef, uncovered, 40 to 45 minutes for medium-rare, 150° on a meat thermometer or adjust time for desired doneness. For tender, juicy meat, do not overcook. Remove the meat from the oven and let rest about 10 minutes before slicing.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
