Beef Tenderloin With Mushrooms Onions And Reduced Wine Sauce Recipes

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 MUSHROOMS, ONIONS AND REDUCED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot boil wine, Port and broth until reduced to 4 cups.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet and saute the onions until tender (about 5 minutes).
• Add in the thyme and then saute until the onions are DEEP brown in colour; transfer onions to a bowl.
• Add in 3-4 tablespoon more butter and saute the mushrooms until they release their moisture and are tender.
• Return the onions to the skillet; add in flour and stir with onions and mushrooms using a wooden spoon for 3 minutes.
• Stir the onion/mushroom mixture into the reduced wine mixture; simmer for about 1 hour (or until reduced further to about 3 cups) season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Rub olive oil all over the roast, then let the roast sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.
• Just before cooking season with salt and pepper.
• Brown the roast on all sides on top of the stove, then place in a roating pan.
• Set oven to 400 degrees.
• Roast for about 35 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 125 degrees F (for rare).
• Remove and tent with foil; let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
• Pour the juices from the roast into the sauce, heat and serve with the roast.

BEEF TENDERLOIN IN MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil over medium-high heat; cook steaks to desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°), 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from pan, reserving drippings; keep warm., In same pan, heat drippings and remaining butter over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms and green onion until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended; gradually stir in broth and, if desired, browning sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with steaks.

BEEF TENDERLOIN IN MUSHROOM-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a medium roasting pan with foil.
• Lightly coat the tenderloin with olive oil; place on a plate and let sit out on the counter until almost room temperature (this might take several hours, this is an important step so do not omit, this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender and juicy beef roast!).
• Season the beef with salt and black pepper (nothing else!).
• Place in the roasting pan and bake uncovered in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile while the roast is cooking; melt the 1/2 cup butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Add in onions slices, garlic and mushrooms; cook stirring for about 6-7 minutes.
• Add/stir in wine, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning and hot sauce and pinch of black pepper.
• In a small bowl whisk together beef broth and flour until completely blended and smooth; add to the wine mixture.
• Reduce the heat and simmer stirring occasionally for 10 minutes or until the onion slices are tender.
• Remove the beef from the oven and reduce heat to 425 degrees, then top with prepared mushroom/wine sauce; return to oven for about 16-18 minutes more or to desired doneness.
• Transfer the beef to a serving platter and pour the sauce over beef or transfer to a gravy server.
• Let beef stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.
