Beef Tenderloin With Gorgonzola Sauce Food

GORGONZOLA- AND MUSHROOM-STUFFED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MERLOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. To cut beef so that it can be filled and rolled, cut horizontally down length of beef, about 1/2 inch from top of beef, to within 1/2 inch of opposite side; open flat. Turn beef. Repeat with other side of beef, cutting from the inside edge to within 1/2 inch of opposite edge; open flat.
• In 10-inch skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and liquid has evaporated. Cool 5 minutes. Add bread crumbs, cheese and parsley; toss to combine.
• Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over beef to within 1 inch of edges. Tightly roll up beef, beginning with long side. Turn small end of beef under about 6 inches so it cooks evenly. Tie beef with kitchen string at about 1 1/2-inch intervals. In shallow roasting pan, place beef, seam side down, on rack. Brush with oil; sprinkle with salt. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef.
• Bake uncovered 30 to 40 minutes or until thermometer reads at least 140°F. Cover beef loosely with foil and let stand about 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°F, and beef will be easier to carve.)
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat all sauce ingredients to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly reduced and syrupy. Remove string from beef before carving. Serve beef with sauce.

BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Let meat rest 10 minutes before beginning dinner preparation.
• Place a large, flat griddle or skillet over high heat. When hot, using a pair of tongs and a folded paper towel, wipe cooking surface with oil and place steaks on hot pan. Caramelize the steaks, 2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to moderate. Season meat with salt and pepper and cook 4 to 5 minutes longer on each side.
• Preheat broiler to high.
• Arrange steaks on baking sheet. Top each steak with 3 ounces Gorgonzola. Place baking sheet 6 inches from broiler heat just long enough to melt the cheese. Remove meat from the oven and top with slivers of fresh sage. Let meat rest 2 or 3 minutes, then serve immediately.

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.

GRILLED FILET MIGNON WITH GORGONZOLA CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour heavy cream into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the cream has reduced by half, stirring occasionally, about an hour. Remove from heat and whisk in the Gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, until the cheese has melted.
• Season the beef tenderloin with lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the steaks until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks from the grill and tent with foil to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve each steak with the Gorgonzola sauce and top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onion.

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GORGONZOLA PEPPER CREAM SAUCE

• Trim off the excess fat on your tenderloin roast with a sharp knife.
• Tie with butcher's twine to help the roast keep its shape.
• Remove the silver skin from the roast.
• In a bowl, mix together the oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Rub over roast to coat.
• In a large skillet heat some olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Brown the tenderloin roast on all sides in the hot oil.
• Transfer the seared tenderloin roast to a rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until desired doneness.
• Remove from oven and transfer the meat to a cutting board and cover with some tin foil. Allow to stand for 15 minutes before commencing slicing.
• Slice and arrange on platter.
• Heat a medium size saucepan over medium heat.
• Melt the butter.
• Saute the shallots until tender.
• Pour in the heavy cream and allow to reduce by half.
• When reduced, turn the heat to low, and add the Gorgonzola cheese, stirring until it melts completely.
• Add the pepper and mix well.
• Season with a pinch of salt if desired
• Serve slices of tenderloin with Gorgonzola Pepper Cream Sauce drizzled on top.

GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring the heavy cream to a full boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, then continue to boil rapidly for 45 to 50 minutes, until thickened like a white sauce, stirring occasionally.
• Off the heat, add the Gorgonzola, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk rapidly until the cheeses melt and serve warm. If you must reheat, warm the sauce over low heat until melted, then whisk vigorously until the sauce comes together.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil and sauté shallots until translucent.
• Add 1/2 cup of the dry white wine, nutmeg, cinnamon and thyme and cook until the liquid is almost all gone.
• Add the whipping cream and the remaining 1/2 cup of wine and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the Gorgonzola cheese. Cover and simmer on low while you prepare and cook the steaks.
• Heat grill or grill pan and spray with pam.
• Season the beef lightly with kosher salt and course ground pepper. Place on medium-high grill (once you put the beef on the grill do not touch for a couple minutes!!!). If using a grill pan, place a lid or heavy plate on top of the beef to keep the heat while the beef cooks. If you have thinner cuts, this might not be necessary. But as you can see from this picture, these fillets are really thick and could use a little help getting the heat through.
• About 3 minutes of cooking, flip the fillets being sure to track the grill marks for the next step. Again, cover and cook on medium-high heat for another 3 minutes.
• You are going to flip the fillets two more times. When doing so, you want to try to create a cross grill pattern, so flip and rotate the fillets. At this point, if you like a more medium-rare or rare steak you can cook for 2-3 more minutes on each side without the lid. Or, if you like a medium steak, put the lid on for the next steps. Or, if you like it well, reduce the heat and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side with the lid. It is always best to use a meat thermometer if you are unsure of the doneness of the fillets.
• Once the fillets are done to your liking, remove from heat and LET IT REST! This is when you can double check on your side dishes and make sure everything is ready to go.
• After 5 minutes, slice the beef and serve with the Gorgonzola sauce either drizzled on the steak or on the side.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CREAMY GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Rub the beef with a light coating of olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper around all sides. Do not be afraid to use salt on the outside. You need this to season the meat or it will be bland.
• Use a large sheet pan with short sides, like a cookie sheet. Place a flat rack in the sheet pan to keep the meat off the pan.
• Insert an oven proof thermometer in one end so that the tip is in the middle of the roast. Do not insert the rod from the top, as it is too hard to get it in the middle. Use a thermometer that sits on the counter with a cord. (you can find this in my favorite cooking tools link, I can't live without this)
• 4. Cook the roast for 15 minutes at 450 degrees and than lower the oven to 325 degrees. Do not open the oven at all during this time. Set the thermometer to 120 for medium rare or 125 for medium.
• Take the roast out of the oven when the thermometer reaches the desired temperature and cover with foil. Do not remove the thermometer. Let the roast sit for 15-20 minutes before slicing. You will see the thermometer will rise another 8-10 degrees. Medium Rare will rise close to 130 and more medium with register at 135 on thermometer. It's very important to let the roast rest out of the oven, it will continue to cook and allow the juices to spread back out into the meat. This is how you get the perfect cooking throughout your meat from top to bottom and from end to end.
• Gorgonzola Sauce: Bring the cream to a full boil in a medium to large sauce pan, boil rapidly until sauce thickens and stir occasionally. Take off the heat and add the rest of the ingredients until the cheeses are melted. This sauce can easily be made ahead of time and reheated.
