Beef Tenderloin Lollipops Recipes

FABULOUS BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place roast into a shallow, glass baking dish. Pour soy sauce and melted butter over the tenderloin.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn the roast over, and continue cooking 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally until the internal temperature of the roast is at 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium. Or, cook to your desired degree of doneness. Let meat rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• 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.)
• 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 ¼ 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 ⅓-inch-thick slices. Serve the beef, passing the red wine sauce at the table.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For the beef: Preheat a pizza oven or regular oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the tenderloin with all the herbs and salt and pepper. Heat a 14-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup cooking oil, heating until hot. Add the tenderloin and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Once almost browned on the second side, add the butter and let melt. Transfer the pan to the oven to continue cooking until your desired doneness, or 12 minutes for medium-rare. Allow to rest for 10 minutes, then slice into 1- to 1 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• For the Armagnac sauce: Add the beef fat to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and let melt. Add the bones and sear just until some of the bone marrow has begun to melt, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast until dark and golden, about 15 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic and porcinis. Put back into the oven and allow to brown another 10 minutes.
• Transfer the pot to the stovetop. Add the rosemary, sage and Armagnac. Allow the alcohol to ignite and immediately cover with the lid. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add the veal demi, chicken stock and green peppercorns, stirring to combine. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes over medium heat.
• Carefully strain the Armagnac sauce directly into a medium saucepan and whisk in the cold butter until thoroughly combined.
• For the wild mushrooms: Turn the heat on under a 12-inch cast-iron pan to medium-high until hot. Add the mushrooms and allow to get hot again, then add the butter and allow the mushrooms to brown all over, about 10 minutes. Add the parsley and rosemary and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• For the gremolata: Add the panko to a large cast-iron pan and allow to toast over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes. Add the butter and allow to brown, another 2 minutes. Add the garlic and bloom for 2 minutes. Add the parsley and chives to finish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Add the mushrooms to the bottom of a large platter. Top with the sliced tenderloin, then spoon the sauce around the outside of the mushrooms. Top the tenderloin with the gremolata and serve.
