Orange Soy Beef Tenderloin 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.

ORANGE-SOY BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Dry the meat with paper towels and rub the meat with the orange zest.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, sake and 1 tablespoons of the oil. Rub this into the beef. Wrap the meat tightly with plastic wrap, place on a platter and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove meat from the refrigerator 3 hours before cooking. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Unwrap the meat and rub with remaining 1 tablespoons of oil and place on a metal roasting pan.
• Roast the meat on the bottom rack in the oven for 15 minutes, carefully turning it once with tongs. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes longer, until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 125 degrees F. for medium-rare.
• Remove meat from the oven, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 15 minutes before carving. Transfer meat to a cutting board and cut 1/2" thick slices and arrange on dinner plates.
• Pour all of the accumulated juices and 1/4 cup of water into the roasting pan and bring to a boil on the stove top over a moderately high heat. Stir to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan and cook until reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Pour some of the sauce over the meat and serve immediately.

ORANGE MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Make the orange marinade by whisking together the orange juice, soy sauce, rosemary, and garlic. Pour over pork tenderloin and marinate for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Drain pork, reserving the marinade, and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for about 20 minutes until internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, strain the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer in a small saucepan. Serve this as a sauce for the meat.

ORANGE BEEF

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Heat oil in a small sauce pan set over medium-high heat. When it begins to shimmer, add ginger, jalapeño and orange zest and stir to combine. Sauté mixture until ingredients soften, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then add garlic and continue cooking until it softens, approximately 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Add orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce and fish sauce to pan and stir to combine. Allow mixture to come to a boil, then lower the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces by half, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the meat: Combine egg white, cornstarch and salt in a bowl. Add steak, tossing to coat the meat with the batter.
• In a large skillet or wok set over high heat, heat oil until it shimmers and is about to smoke. Add beef to the pan or wok in a single layer and cook without stirring until the bottoms of the pieces are crisp and golden, approximately 60 to 90 seconds. Add white pieces of scallion and chiles to the pan, then turn the beef pieces over and cook the other sides, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter.
• Pour orange sauce into the hot pan or wok, let it boil and stir it as it thickens. Add meat and white scallions and stir to coat with the sauce. Return meat and sauce to the platter and scatter green scallions over the top. Serve with steamed broccoli and white rice.

GARLICKY BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ORANGE HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the tenderloin all over with the salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic. Cover the meat and refrigerate for at least two hours and preferably overnight. Let it come to room temperature for 1 hour before roasting.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Wipe off as much garlic as possible. (It tends to burn.)
• In a large, ovenproof skillet over high heat, heat the oil. Add the meat and thoroughly brown all over, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (If your skillet isn't large enough, cut the meat in half.)
• Place the skillet on the oven's middle rack and roast until an instant-read thermometer shows 120 degrees (for rare), 10 to 20 minutes. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• In a small bowl, whisk the crème fraîche, horseradish and orange zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve alongside the tenderloin.
