Fresh Herb Beef Tenderloin With Balsamic Roasted Onions Recipes

GARLIC HERB BUTTER BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Remove the beef tenderloin roast from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Trim the silver skin (a thin, white layer that should be removed before cooking) and tie the beef tenderloin. If one end is more tapered than the other, bend it under the roast and secure it when tying so the roast is an even thickness throughout.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pat the beef tenderloin dry and season by sprinkling with salt and pepper on all sides. Prepare the garlic herb butter by combining the butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mashing with a fork. Divide in half, setting part of the garlic herb butter aside in a separate bowl for after the roast is done cooking.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the roast into the skillet and let it sear on each of three sides for 2-3 minutes. Turn the roast over with tongs to the final side, then turn off the heat and rub the beef tenderloin all over with half of the garlic herb butter mixture.
• Transfer the beef tenderloin to the oven in the skillet it was seared in, or place in a roasting pan first if you don't have an oven-safe skillet.
• Cook for 25-35 minutes, depending on the size of your roast, until an oven-safe meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers between 135 and 140 degrees F for medium doneness. The temperature of the meat will continue to rise another 5 degrees after it is removed from the oven while it is resting before slicing.
• While the meat cooks, combine all of the ingredients for the horseradish sauce in a bowl and keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Remove the beef tenderloin roast from the oven and slather with the reserved garlic herb butter mixture, then let the meat rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with horseradish sauce, if desired.

FRESH-HERB BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC ROASTED ONIONS

Steps:

• For the tenderloin:
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Dry well the beef tenderloin with paper towels and rub it with 1 TBSP. of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle generously with sea salt and pepper.
• Heat one large nonstick skillet over high heat (the size should be large enough to hold the tenderloin.) Add the beef tenderloin and brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place in a roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the minced garlic, one tablespoon each of thyme and rosemary. Coat the top and the sides of the tenderloin evenly with Dijon mustard. Then rub the herb mixture on evenly.
• Put on the middle rack in the oven and roast for about 45 minutes. The meat thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin should register 125°F for medium-rare. If you prefer it medium-done, cook it a little longer until the temperature registers at 135°F. (An instant-read thermometer (like thermapen) makes this easy.)
• Transfer the tenderloin to a serving platter, cover loosely with foil and let it stand for at least 10 minutes. To serve, slice it thinly, sprinkle with the remaining ½ tablespoon each of thyme and rosemary and serve with balsamic roasted onions on the side.
• For the balsamic onions:
• Position the oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with heavy-duty foil.
• Peel and cut the red onions through root end into ¾-inch-thick wedges. Place in a medium bowl and toss with the olive oil. Arrange onions, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast until nice and brown, turning once, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Return to the heat and simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. (The balsamic glaze can be made 1 day ahead).
• To serve, arrange the onions on a platter. Drizzle the glaze over the onions and sprinkle with the minced parsley.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper; rub evenly over tenderloin. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Place meat on a rack in shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 50-70 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing., In a saucepan, bring wine or grape juice and broth to a boil; cook until reduced to 3/4 cup. Add vinegar; cook for 3-4 minutes or until reduced to a sauce consistency. Stir in butter, salt and pepper. Serve with tenderloin.

HERB CRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Tie the beef with butcher's string and rub with the olive oil. Combine the rosemary, parsley, thyme, and garlic and pat the mixture on the beef. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
• Over high heat sear the beef in an ovenproof skillet, turning to brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the skillet directly into the oven and roast the beef for 20 to 25 minutes. Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before removing the string and slicing.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Rub the parchment paper with butter and a little bit of the garlic. Lay the potatoes in overlapping rows to cover the bottom of the parchment paper. Sprinkle with some of the cheese and garlic. Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes, cheese and garlic have been used.
• Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Press down on the potatoes to distribute the egg mixture. Cover the dish with parchment paper and bake for 1 1/2 hours. (Remove the parchment paper from the top for the last 20 minutes to brown the top).
• Allow the flan to rest for at least 15 minutes before turning out of the pan and cutting into serving sizes. This dish is best made a day ahead, then portioned and reheated in 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a medium pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the onions, and cook for 7 minutes until soft, stirring frequently. Stir in the sugar and salt, and cook for a further 7 minutes. Add the port and vinegar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the thyme. Keeps for 1 week stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a griddle or large skillet sear the beef on all sides until brown.
• Place in the preheated oven and roast until the internal temperature is 120 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Let the tenderloin rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

HERB-ROASTED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the stem end of each onion and carefully slice off the brown part of the root end, leaving the root intact. Peel the onion. Stand each onion root end up on a cutting board and cut the onion in wedges through the root. Place the wedges in a bowl.
• For the dressing, combine the lemon juice, mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Pour the dressing over the onions and toss well.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a sheet pan, reserving the vinaigrette that remains in the bowl. Bake the onions for 30 to 45 minutes, until tender and browned. Toss the onions once during cooking. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with the reserved dressing. Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.

BALSAMIC ROASTED ONIONS

Stir glaze over low heat to rewarm.)
