Pan Roasted Beef Tenderloin With Ginger Shiitake Brown Butter Food

MARINATED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first nine ingredients; mix well. Cover and refrigerate 1 cup for basting. Pour remaining marinade into a shallow dish; add bay leaf and tenderloin. Turn to coat; cover and refrigerate overnight., Drain and discard marinade and bay leaf. Place tenderloin on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 55-60 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting often with reserved marinade. let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

PAN ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• Trim silverskin and fat from tenderloin; wash it and dry well with paper towels. Truss the meat with cotton string at every inch to create a round profile. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat.
• Rub meat with olive oil. Then salt and pepper just before searing to prevent juices from leeching. This promotes maximum browning.
• Sear on all sides until browned, about three rotations, 1 minute each. Roast in oven 20 - 30 minutes, turning tenderloin over halfway through cooking for even browning. When temperature reads 130° (medium-rare), remove from oven. Cover the roast with aluminum foil and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into 1 1/2" slices.

HOISIN-GLAZED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef all over with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering, then sear the beef on all sides until it is a mahogany brown, about 8 minutes in all (any longer and you're cooking the beef too much, that may have been why my roast came out almost medium, instead of medium-rare).
• Transfer the roast to a shallow roasting pan. Don't clean out the skillet! Leave everything in the skillet as you'll need it for the mushrooms.
• Brush the tenderloin all over with the hoisin sauce, just bathe the thing with the sauce. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 125° for medium-rare, about 30-40 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest while you do the mushrooms.
• Heat the skillet (that you saved) over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and the scallion WHITES, garlic, ginger, the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and red pepper flakes and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the scallion greens and sherry (or rice wine) and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Slice the roast and serve with the mushroom mixture.
• **I think this would also be good with a mixture of different mushrooms, especially wild mushrooms.

PAN ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GINGER-SHIITAKE BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat until lightly smoking. Season filets to taste with salt and pepper. Sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to oven, and cook to desired doneness, about 12 minutes for medium-rare. When done, allow steaks to rest out of the pan for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in ginger and garlic, and cook until translucent and aromatic, but not browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add shiitake mushrooms and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Pour in the sake and mirin and simmer until reduced by half. Melt the remaining 3/4 cup butter, then reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the butter browns, 6 to 8 minutes. Once browned, season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in the chives. Spoon sauce over steaks to serve.
