Beef Loin With Pinot Noir Sauce Recipes

BEEF ROAST IN PINOT NOIR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Trim the roast of excess fat. Add olive oil to a large pot or roasting pan and heat over medium-high heat. Place roast in a large pot and sear on all sides. This will take about one minute per side. Then remove the roast and set aside. Then, sprinkle the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and thyme onto the roast. Make sure you cover all sides with seasonings.
• Cut shallots in half and remove skins. Next, add the shallots to the pot and cook until browned. Remove the shallots and set aside.
• Add red wine to the juices from the onions and the seared meat. Continue to cook on high heat while removing any browned bits. Once the pot is deglazed remove all of the juices into a saucepot.
• Place shallots and roast into roasting pan and place in the preheated oven. Roast for one hour per pound of roast. So, a three-pound roast will cook for three hours. The goal is for a tender roast that is just falling apart.
• Meanwhile, in the saucepot, stir together beef broth and Pinot Noir. Bring to a rolling boil and hold at a boil for 6-8 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 2 cups.
• After the roast is cooked, place on a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to help keep it warm. Arrange shallots around the roast.
• Add wine mixture to the pan, and place over medium heat, stirring to release the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and water until smooth, then stir into the sauce in the roasting pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Add butter, stirring just until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the sauce over the roast and shallots and serve.

PORK LOIN WITH PINOT NOIR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice each tenderloin crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around the pork and secure with toothpick or wooden skewer. Repeat with the remaining pork and bacon. Sprinkle with pepper. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over moderately-high heat, add the pork and cook until golden brown, turning once, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until no longer pink in the middle and the bacon is golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
• In a large skillet over moderate heat, cook the remaining bacon until crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Keeping the fat in the pan over moderate heat, add the shallots to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the demi-glace and wine and bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the pork with generous drizzle of the pinot noir sauce.

PINOT NOIR SAUCE

Steps:

• To make stock, heat oven to 450 degrees. Place bones in a medium roasting pan, and roast, turning once or twice, until deeply browned, about 2 hours. Add onions, celery, carrots, garlic and tomato paste, and roast, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are deep golden brown, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Transfer bones and vegetables to a 2-gallon stockpot. Place roasting pan on stove, add 2 cups water and deglaze over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits. Transfer deglazing liquid into stockpot with bones. Add thyme, bay leaf, parsley stems and 2 1/2 quarts water. Bring to a simmer over high heat, reduce heat to low and simmer until stock is rich and flavorful, about 5 hours. Remove from heat, and strain into a deep saucepan; there should be 8 cups stock. Place saucepan in sink of ice water to cool stock; then refrigerate until ready to use. (While stock is cold, scoop hardened fat from surface, and discard it.) Freeze half the stock to use later.
• To make sauce, heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and sauté carrot and celery, stirring constantly, until lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add thyme and pinot noir, bring to a simmer and simmer until reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes. Strain into a clean saucepan.
• Add 4 cups veal stock, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and simmer until sauce is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Increase heat to high, and add butter piece by piece, whisking to emulsify. Sauce will become glossy and coat back of a wooden spoon. As soon as butter is incorporated, remove sauce from heat, and spoon onto meat.
