Mom Schroers Beef Tenderloin Recipes

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together Worcestershire sauce, molasses, and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
• Trim the tenderloin of any excess fat or silver skin. Place the tenderloin in a large zip-top plastic bag and pour marinade over top. Squeeze air out of the bag and seal to close. Gently toss to coat the beef in the marinade. Set the bag on a plate and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours.
• In a small bowl, stir together garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together bourbon, ¼ cup Dijon mustard, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
• After 8 to 24 hours in the refrigerator, remove the tenderloin from the bag and discard the marinade.
• Wipe excess marinade off of the tenderloin by patting it with paper towels.
• Press the garlic rub into the tenderloin on all sides and allow to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
• Lightly brush or spray the tenderloin with olive oil.
• Sear tenderloin over medium direct heat until well marked (about 20 minutes), turning ¼ every 5 minutes. Continue grilling over medium indirect heat until internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium rare (10-20 minutes). During the final 10 minutes of grilling time, turn and baste with the glaze.
• Remove the tenderloin from the grill and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes (the internal temperature will continue to rise a bit during this time). Cut beef into 1-inch slices and serve warm.
• Prepare tenderloin according to instructions above. After rubbing the tenderloin with garlic rub, allow to sit at room temperature while you preheat the oven to 475°F.
• Place tenderloin on a roasting rack and insert a meat thermometer. Roast in the oven until the beef registers an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare (about 20-30 minutes). Baste with glaze during the final 10 minutes of baking time.
• Allow meat to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

FILET OF BEEF WITH MUSTARD MAYO HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Pat the entire tenderloin dry with paper towels and brush it all over (top and bottom) with the butter. Sprinkle the tenderloin all over with 4 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. It will seem like a lot but trust me, it's important.
• Place the tenderloin on the prepared sheet pan and roast it for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the end of the filet registers 130 degrees F for medium rare. Remove from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Discard the foil and allow to sit at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, for the sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustards, horseradish, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Remove the strings and slice the filet between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick, sprinkle with salt, and place on a platter with a garnish of parsley. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold with the sauce on the side.

BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Make the compound butter: Place the capers, shallot, chives, tarragon, ½ cup butter and pepper in the bowl of a small food processor and process until well blended.
• Scrape the butter out on the center of a piece of plastic wrap, and use the plastic wrap to form the butter into a 4-inch long log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap it well, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 5 days.
• To cook the filet, preheat the oven to 475°F. Pat the filet dry with paper towels, and place the filet on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub the two tablespoons butter all over the meat, and evenly sprinkle the salt and pepper over the surface.
• Place the filet in the oven at roast for about 23 to 25 minutes for rare (an internal temp of 120°F, and 27 to 30 minutes for medium rare (an internal temp of 125°F), depending on the thickness of the meat. Let the meat sit in a cutting board, tented with foil for 20 minutes before slicing into thick slices (or thin, your call!). Remove the compound butter from the fridge while the meat rests.
• Place a slice of the compound butter on top of the warm slices of meat as you serve them.
