Mom Schroers Beef Tenderloin Food

FILET OF BEEF WITH MUSTARD MAYO HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Pat the entire tenderloin dry with paper towels and brush it all over (top and bottom) with the butter. Sprinkle the tenderloin all over with 4 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. It will seem like a lot but trust me, it's important.
• Place the tenderloin on the prepared sheet pan and roast it for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the end of the filet registers 130 degrees F for medium rare. Remove from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Discard the foil and allow to sit at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, for the sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustards, horseradish, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Remove the strings and slice the filet between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick, sprinkle with salt, and place on a platter with a garnish of parsley. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold with the sauce on the side.

STUFFED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter, add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sherry, dates, cranberries, thyme and sage and simmer until just dry, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Season the inside of the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Spread an even layer of the fruit and herb mixture over it, leaving about 1/2 inch of tenderloin around the edges. Top with a layer of the almonds. Roll tightly and tie with at least 4 pieces of butcher's twine (easier to cut and portion!).
• Place the loin on a wire-racked baking sheet and season the outside with salt and pepper. Cook until the center of the tenderloin registers 120 to 125 degrees F, about 2 hours.
• In a large skillet, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat until just foaming. Place the loin in the skillet and sear on all sides until evenly crusty and brown, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with minced chives and serve with horseradish sauce.
