Steak House Seared Beef Tenderloin Filets Recipes

STEAKHOUSE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat dry the filets mignons with paper towels. Brush the filets lightly all over with the oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the filets on all sides in the mixture, pressing lightly to help the salt and pepper adhere. The steaks should be evenly coated with the salt and pepper.
• When the pan is extremely hot, add the steaks and sear evenly on all sides (top, bottom, and sides) for about 2 minutes per side. (Be sure the cooking area is well ventilated.) You'll probably need about 3 turns to sear the sides and about 10 minutes total.
• Remove the pan from the heat and arrange all the filets flat in the pan. Top each with a tablespoon of butter, then place the pan in the oven. Cook the filets for 8 to 12 minutes to 120 degrees for rare and 125 degrees for medium-rare. Remove the steaks to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH PORT-ROSEMARY SAUCE

Steps:

• FOR SAUCE:
• Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine and Port. Boil 5 minutes. Add broth and rosemary sprig and boil until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 12 minutes. Strain sauce and set aside. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• FOR STEAKS:
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Add steaks to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Add sauce to skillet and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Remove from heat. Gradually add butter, whisking just until melted. Stir in chopped rosemary. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon sauce over steaks and serve.

PERFECT TENDERLOIN STEAK / FILETS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Roast an entire head of garlic by cutting off top, placing in a small Pyrex baking ramekin. Coat top with EVOO, salt, & pepper.
• Bake until the cloves are soft and golden, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Squeeze each head of garlic to expel the cloves into a bowl.
• SAVE THE OIL and add ½ tablespoon of butter. Set on counter to hold.
• Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
• Meanwhile, bring steaks to room temperature and sauté mushrooms.
• To sauté mushrooms, melt butter and EVOO in a large conventional (not non-stick) sauté pan over medium to med-high heat. After butter foaming stops, add mushrooms, and cook until they are nicely caramelized on both sides. Do not salt & pepper until they are browned, or they will release too much liquid, and take forever to brown. Once browned, add the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, brandy, beef broth, and roasted garlic. Reduce so that sauce is concentrated, and about ¼ original volume. Reduce to simmer to keep warm. Make an empty space in center of pan, to receive the steaks.
• Rub steaks with olive oil, and liberally season with salt and freshly ground coarse black pepper.
• Preheat grill (outdoor or indoor) to med-high for at least 5 minutes, with lid closed.
• Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, then place them in the pan, surrounded by mushrooms.
• Pour the garlic-infused oil with butter, from roasting the garlic, over each steak.
• Immediately place in the oven for 6½ to 7 minutes for medium rare.
• Remove from oven, cover with foil, and rest for 5 minutes, for juices to settle in meat.
• Serve steaks, smothered in mushrooms.

SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN FILETS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the middle of oven.
• 2. Season the tenderloin filets with salt and pepper.
• 3. You need to use an oven proof frying pan for this recipe. (I use my cast iron skillet) Get you pan very hot. Oil the pan and place the filets on the hot pan.(do not over crowd the pan. Do them in batches if need be or they will not get that professional looking "crust" to them. Once in pan, DO NOT MOVE THEM, TURN THEM, OR PLAY WITH THEM. The idea is to get a nice "crust" on the filet. Let them cook in the hot pan for 5 minutes. Then turn them over ( to reveal a beautiful crust) Place the whole pan in the preheated oven right away. Finish cooking them in the oven until desired done-ness. (again, I never cook tenderloin to a well done. It isnt a cut that fairs well with well done. Medium rare is the way to go in my book!) :)
• 4. Rare: sear 5 minutes, Roast 5 minutes Medium-rare: Sear 5 minutes, Roast 7 minutes Medium: Sear 5 minutes, Roast 9 minutes.
