Herb Crusted Tenderloin Roast Recipes

HERB-MARINATED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

HERB CRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Tuck the thin, tapered end of the tenderloin under the roast, then tie the entire roast every 1 1/2 inches.
• Combine 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, and sugar in small bowl and rub all over tenderloin. Transfer tenderloin to wire rack set on rimmed baking sheet and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Bread Crumb Topping: Pulse bread in food processor to fine crumbs. Transfer bread crumbs to medium bowl and toss in 2 tablespoons parsley, 2 teaspoons thyme, 1/2 cup parmesan, and 2 tablespoons oil until evenly combined.
• Herb Paste: Wipe out food processor and process remaining 6 tablespoons parsley, 2 tablespoons thyme, 3/4 cups cheese, 4 tablespoons oil, and garlic until smooth paste forms. Transfer herb paste to small bowl.
• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 400°F Roast tenderloin 20 minutes and remove from oven. Using scissors, cut and remove twine.
• Using a spatula, spread the herb paste evenly over the top and sides of the tenderloin.
• Press the bread-crumb mixture evenly onto the roast, using the other hand to catch the crumbs and keep them from falling through the rack.
• Roast until thickest part of meat registers about 130°F and topping is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. (If topping browns before meat reaches preferred internal temperature, lightly cover with foil for balance of roasting time and remove while roast rests.).
• Let roast rest, uncovered, for 30 minutes on wire rack. Transfer to cutting board and carve. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 500°F. Turn small end of beef under about 6 inches. Tie turned-under portion of beef with kitchen string at about 1 1/2-inch intervals. Place beef in shallow roasting pan. Brush with mustard. In small bowl, mix bread crumbs and remaining ingredients. Pat bread crumb mixture onto mustard-coated beef, pressing gently. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of beef.
• Bake uncovered 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake 30 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 135°F or150°F. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F (medium-rare) or 160°F (medium). Remove string from beef before carving. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

HERB-CRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN MEDALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 525 degrees F (274 degrees C). Set a cooking rack in a roasting pan.
• Combine bread crumbs, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, shallot, garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, Dijon, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to a paste-like consistency.
• Spread herb paste all over the tenderloin. Tuck thinner end of the tenderloin underneath so it will cook evenly. Season with salt and pepper and place on the prepared cooking rack.
• Place in the preheated oven and reduce temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), about 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing into medallions.
