ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, place in the skillet and sear on all sides. Remove the skillet from the heat.Brush the top and sides of the roast with the mustard; sprinkle with the rosemary, salt and pepper. Place the skillet in the oven and roast about 20 to 25 minutes for rare to medium-rare beef, and 25 to 28 minutes for medium-rare to medium (see Note).Transfer the beef to a plate, tent with foil and let rest while you make the sauce.Place the stock and flour in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and then set on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the wine to the skillet and cook until reduced by half. Pour in the stock/flour mixture, bring to a simmer, and simmer until lightly thickened. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and set aside on low heat.Thinly slice the beef, arrange it on a small serving platter and drizzle with some of the sauce. Serve the remaining sauce in a small sauceboat alongside.Note: The best way gauge doneness is to use an instant-read meat thermometer, inserted into the centre of the thickest part of the roast. For a rare roast, remove from oven when internal temperature is 120°F to 125°F; for medium-rare, remove from oven when internal temperature is 130°F; and for medium, remove from oven when internal temperature is 140°F.

• Rub the olive oil all over the beef.
• In a small bowl mix the oregano, basil, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Rub the herb mixture all over the meat .
• In a large frying pan sear the meat on all sides until a nice crust appears.
• Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place the beef on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and roast uncovered for about 40 minutes turning once during the cooking.
• Remove beef from the oven and let stand around 20 minutes before slicing. Roast should be medium-rare.
• Meanwhile in a large frying pan melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
• Sauté the onions, garlic an mushrooms for 8 to 10 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
• In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and water then mix into the mushrooms.
• Gradually stir in the beef broth and stir for about 2 minutes until sauce thickens.

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• FOR THE SAUCE.
• 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.).
• FOR THE TENDERLOIN.
• 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 1/4 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 1/3-inch-thick slices. Serve the beef, passing the red wine sauce at the table.
