Rosemary Rubbed Filet Mignon With Chocolate Port Reduction Sauce Recipes

ROSEMARY RUBBED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CHOCOLATE PORT REDUCTION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the pepper, rosemary, mustard, garlic and salt. Pat the filets dry and then season on both sides with the rub.
• Heat the oil over medium high heat in a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet. Add the beef filets and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until an instant read thermometer reads 125 F for rare (or to your desired cooking temperature).
• While the steaks finish in the oven, add the port, beef and rosemary to the pan the steaks were cooked in, and raise the heat to medium high. Scrape up any beef bits from the pan and cook until well reduced to a light syrup.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the balsamic, the Green & Blacks Organic chocolate, butter and salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the steaks from the oven, and transfer to serving plates. Drizzle with the port chocolate sauce and garnish with a pinch of fleur de sel and fresh rosemary or parsley.

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROSEMARY, CHOCOLATE AND WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Season the meat with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat until good and hot, then add the meat and sear until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Transfer the meat to a rack set on a baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 140 degrees F for medium-rare, about 30 minutes, or to your desired degree of doneness. Remove it from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest until the sauce is nearly done before slicing.
• While the meat cooks, make the sauce. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, carrot and celery and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the wine and broth and stir in the tomato paste. Add the bay leaf and thyme and bring to a boil. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 40 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan. Stir in the cocoa and rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Serve on the side with the sliced tenderloin.
• Serving size 3 slices of meat and about 1 1/2 tablespoons of sauce

FILET MIGNON WITH ROSEMARY AND MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Steak: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a small baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, to taste. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board.
• Gravy: In the same skillet used for the steak, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the shallots are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the beef broth and rosemary. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until half of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cutting across the grain, slice the steak into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange on a platter. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl and serve alongside the meat.
