Garlic Herb Butter Beef Tenderloin Food

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.

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:

• Prepare the tenderloin by trimming the fat. Cut it in half and tie the roast. Bend the tail in at the end of the roast so that it is tied in even thickness.
• Preheat a heavy bottom skillet to medium high heat and add the olive oil. Once the olive oil has reached the smoking point, add the roasts and sear each side for 3-4 minutes or until it is golden brown.
• To make the garlic butter spread: Combine the butter, garlic, thyme, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Place the tenderloin in a roasting pan, heavy bottomed skillet, or baking dish. Spread half of the butter on the roast.
• Roast in the oven until the temperature reaches just under 140 degrees for medium doneness. Remove from the oven and slather the rest of the garlic butter on top and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

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
