Fresh Herb Beef Tenderloin With Balsamic Roasted Onions Food

BALSAMIC ROASTED ONIONS

Steps:

• Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 500°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil. Cut onions through root end into 3/4-inch-thick wedges. Place in medium bowl; toss with oil. Arrange onions, cut side down, on baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until onions are brown and tender, rotating pans in oven and turning onions once, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add vinegar. Return to heat. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. (Onions and balsamic glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover separately and chill. Rewarm onions in 375°F oven about 15 minutes. Stir glaze over low heat to rewarm.)
• Arrange onions on platter. Drizzle glaze over. Sprinkle with parsley.

HERB CRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Tie the beef with butcher's string and rub with the olive oil. Combine the rosemary, parsley, thyme, and garlic and pat the mixture on the beef. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
• Over high heat sear the beef in an ovenproof skillet, turning to brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the skillet directly into the oven and roast the beef for 20 to 25 minutes. Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before removing the string and slicing.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Rub the parchment paper with butter and a little bit of the garlic. Lay the potatoes in overlapping rows to cover the bottom of the parchment paper. Sprinkle with some of the cheese and garlic. Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes, cheese and garlic have been used.
• Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Press down on the potatoes to distribute the egg mixture. Cover the dish with parchment paper and bake for 1 1/2 hours. (Remove the parchment paper from the top for the last 20 minutes to brown the top).
• Allow the flan to rest for at least 15 minutes before turning out of the pan and cutting into serving sizes. This dish is best made a day ahead, then portioned and reheated in 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a medium pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the onions, and cook for 7 minutes until soft, stirring frequently. Stir in the sugar and salt, and cook for a further 7 minutes. Add the port and vinegar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the thyme. Keeps for 1 week stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container

FRESH-HERB BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC ROASTED ONIONS

Steps:

• For the tenderloin:
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Dry well the beef tenderloin with paper towels and rub it with 1 TBSP. of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle generously with sea salt and pepper.
• Heat one large nonstick skillet over high heat (the size should be large enough to hold the tenderloin.) Add the beef tenderloin and brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place in a roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the minced garlic, one tablespoon each of thyme and rosemary. Coat the top and the sides of the tenderloin evenly with Dijon mustard. Then rub the herb mixture on evenly.
• Put on the middle rack in the oven and roast for about 45 minutes. The meat thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin should register 125°F for medium-rare. If you prefer it medium-done, cook it a little longer until the temperature registers at 135°F. (An instant-read thermometer (like thermapen) makes this easy.)
• Transfer the tenderloin to a serving platter, cover loosely with foil and let it stand for at least 10 minutes. To serve, slice it thinly, sprinkle with the remaining ½ tablespoon each of thyme and rosemary and serve with balsamic roasted onions on the side.
• For the balsamic onions:
• Position the oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with heavy-duty foil.
• Peel and cut the red onions through root end into ¾-inch-thick wedges. Place in a medium bowl and toss with the olive oil. Arrange onions, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast until nice and brown, turning once, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Return to the heat and simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. (The balsamic glaze can be made 1 day ahead).
• To serve, arrange the onions on a platter. Drizzle the glaze over the onions and sprinkle with the minced parsley.

BEST BALSAMIC MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Whisk balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, honey, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Place pork in a resealable plastic bag and pour balsamic mixture on top to coat. Squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Place the bag in a container to avoid leaks, and marinate in the refrigerator 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove pork from the marinade and shake off excess. Place pork in a roasting pan or baking dish. Reserve marinade.
• Roast pork in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pork from the oven, place on a cutting board, and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10-20 minutes.
• While pork is resting, pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with the roasted tenderloin.

HERB ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Remove the tenderloin from the fridge and any packaging and leave at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C.
• Set a rack inside a baking sheet.
• To a bowl add the softened butter and Dijon, mix well. Rub this mix all over the tenderloin.
• To a small bowl add the salt, pepper, rosemary, sage and thyme, mix well.
• Sprinkle the spice mix evenly all over the tenderloin, pressing it into the mustard.
• Place the tenderloin onto the rack and roast for 30 minutes. Turn the temperature down to 350°F/177°C and cook until internal temperature reaches 130-135°F/55-58°C for medium rare, 140-145 °F/60-63°C for medium, 150-155°F/65-68°C for medium well.
• Allow to rest for at least 30 minutes after removing from the oven before slicing.

BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• CUT: One end of the beef tenderloin will have a thinner tapered end - we will be folding this end up against the roast. Cut the beef tenderloin in half so the two halves will be roughly equal length when you fold the thin end up against the roast to create a uniform cylinder shape (see photos in post).
• TIE: In order for beef tenderloin to cook evenly and hold the folded tail in place, it is tied with kitchen twine - you can also ask a butcher to do this for you. First, re-fold the thin end up against the roast to create a uniform cylinder shape if needed. To tie, you can simply tie individual loops spaced 1 ½ inches apart down the length of each tenderloin and then one loop going around the roasts lengthwise or I've detailed the proper technique below which is actually quicker (just maybe more difficult explain, so just try it! - see detailed photos in post):
• Take a string and loop it around the width of one roast, about 1-inch from the end and tie a snug knot. Loop the string around your left hand by moving the string from the front of your hand to the back so it creates a loop. With your looped hand, pick up the front of your roast and pull the loop around your roast. Shimmy the loop down to create a loop 1 ½ inches from the first loop. Pull any loose string so it's snug and repeat the process, tightening as you go. To finish, wrap the string all the way around the roast lengthwise then tie off the end and trim any excess string.
• SPICE RUB: Whisk together all of the Spice Rub ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Pat roasts dry with paper towels then evenly rub spice mix all over (it will seem like a lot but use all of it).
• BRING TO ROOM TEMPERATURE: Let roasts rest at room temperature for two hours or transfer to the refrigerator to rest uncovered for up to 48 hours. If the beef is refrigerated, let it sit at room temperate for 2 hours before cooking.
• HORSERADISH CREAM SAUCE: At any point while the roast is resting, mix all of the Horseradish Cream Sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. When ready to use, taste and adjust to taste if desired.
• GARLC HERB BUTTER: When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Meanwhile, mix all of the butter spread ingredients together in a bowl until evenly combined; set aside.
• SEAR ROAST: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high-heat. When the oil is very hot and just smoking, add beef tenderloin roasts (you may need to work in batches). Sear each side of beef until deeply browned. Transfer to a plate and wipe out any blackened drippings. Drizzle skillet with oil and transfer roasts back to the skillet. Slather the butter spread all over the tops and sides of the roasts (use all of it).
• BAKE: Transfer the skillet (or use a lightly greased baking dish/roasting pan) to the preheated oven. Bake at 450 degrees F until beef registers desired doneness: between 120-125°F for medium rare, recommended (about 20-25 minutes) or 115-120°F for rare or 130-135°F for medium rare. **Keep in mind the beef will rise 5-7 degrees after resting, so take the meat out of the oven 5-7 degrees below the temperature you are aiming for. You will likely need to remove one roast before the other.
• REST AND SLICE: Remove skillet from the oven and baste roasts several times with the buttery juices from the skillet, then transfer roasts to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let beef rest for 15 minutes before slicing into ½-inch thick slices. Serve with Horseradish Cream Sauce.
