SEARED AND CARVED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB QUINOA, POACHED LEEKS AND WILD MUSHROOM REDUCTION

Steps:

• For the Beef Tenderloin: Season the tournedos on both sides with the salt and pepper. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with nonstick spray for 1 second. Sear the filets for 2 minutes on each side and reserve in a warm place.
• For the Herb Quinoa: Combine the garlic, shallots, rosemary and thyme with 2 ounces of the chicken stock and reduce until the shallots are almost translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the quinoa, the remaining stock, salt, pepper and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes. Add the sherry vinegar, parsley and chives and mix to incorporate.
• For the Poached Leeks: Combine all ingredients in a shallow saucepan and poach over medium heat for 30 minutes. Allow the leeks to cool in the liquid.
• For the Wild Mushroom Reduction: Soak the dried mushrooms in 1/2 cup of the veal stock for 1 hour. Strain, reserving the stock. Chop the rehydrated porcini mushrooms. Combine the garlic, shallots and porcini mushrooms in medium sauce pot with the 1/2 cup reserved veal stock. Cook until almost dry. Add the wild mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms release their water, about 10 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and Madeira and cook for 1 minute. Add 4 cups of the veal stock and simmer 5 minutes.
• Combine the browned wheat flour with the remaining 1/2 cup of veal stock. Turn the sauce up to medium-high and rapidly stir in the flour stock mixture. Add the salt, pepper, thyme and parsley to finish.
• Lower heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
• Serve the filets with quinoa, leeks and mushroom sauce.

OVEN-SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat the steaks very dry with paper towels; season both sides with salt and pepper. Allow steaks to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes while the oven pre-heats.
• Heat a 10-inch cast iron pan over medium-high heat for about one minute. Add the oil to pan and swirl to evenly distribute the oil. Place the steaks in the pan, allowing room between steaks. Cook without moving steaks for 2 minutes. Using tongs, lift the steaks and flip them over. If properly seared the steaks should release easily, without sticking to the pan. Immediately place cast iron pan into the hot oven.
• Cook steaks until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove skillet from oven and transfer steaks to a warm plate lightly tented with foil. (The internal temperature of the steaks will increase by about 5 degrees while resting.)
• Melt unsalted butter in the same skillet over low heat; add diced shallots. Cook and stir, releasing the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Stir in the deli mustard.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk in Swanson® Beef Stock and Worcestershire sauce, continuing to scrape up browned bits from the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Whisk in the cream; simmer until sauce clings to the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley, chives, thyme, and oregano.
• Spoon the herb sauce over steaks; serve immediately.

GARLIC HERB BUTTER BEEF TENDERLOIN

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.

SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH THYME

Steps:

• Grind the peppercorns and mix with the salt and thyme leaves. Rub the beef lightly with some of the olive oil, then rub the pepper mixture all over the beef. Heat a ridged cast-iron grill pan until very hot. Put the beef in the pan and sear on all sides, then remove from the pan and let cool.
• Use a long, sharp knife to slice the beef as thinly as possible. Place the slices on a board and press them with the flat side of the knife blade to flatten each slice and make it bigger.
• Cover the serving plates with the beef. Season, then drizzle with half the lemon juice. Toss the salad leaves and sprouts with some olive oil and a little more lemon juice. Scatter the leaves over the beef, then shave the cheese on top. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and serve with the lemon wedges.

AMAZING BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• At least 4 hours before cooking your roast, season it with sea salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, and dried thyme, then store in plastic wrap or a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Pat down the spices so they stick well.Preheat your oven to 450°F. While the oven preheats, take your seasoned roast out of the refrigerator and place it on a rack in a small roasting pan, or on a small baking sheet with sides. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the roast. Allow it to come to room temperature.
• Place your roast in the oven and sear for 15 minutes to sear it. When 15 minutes is up, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Continue to cook for 1 hour at 325°F, or more or less time depending on the size of your roast (see chart below). Remove from the oven and tent with foil for 15 minutes before carving. Serve, and enjoy!
