Beef Fillet Steaks With Pepper Thyme Sauce Recipes

OVEN-SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat the steaks very dry with paper towels; season both sides with salt and pepper. Allow steaks to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes while the oven pre-heats.
• Heat a 10-inch cast iron pan over medium-high heat for about one minute. Add the oil to pan and swirl to evenly distribute the oil. Place the steaks in the pan, allowing room between steaks. Cook without moving steaks for 2 minutes. Using tongs, lift the steaks and flip them over. If properly seared the steaks should release easily, without sticking to the pan. Immediately place cast iron pan into the hot oven.
• Cook steaks until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove skillet from oven and transfer steaks to a warm plate lightly tented with foil. (The internal temperature of the steaks will increase by about 5 degrees while resting.)
• Melt unsalted butter in the same skillet over low heat; add diced shallots. Cook and stir, releasing the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Stir in the deli mustard.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk in Swanson® Beef Stock and Worcestershire sauce, continuing to scrape up browned bits from the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Whisk in the cream; simmer until sauce clings to the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley, chives, thyme, and oregano.
• Spoon the herb sauce over steaks; serve immediately.

PEPPERED BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAKS

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet; add onions. Cook and stir over medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until tender and browned. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, vinegar and sugar. Remove and keep warm. , Combine the pepper, thyme and remaining salt; rub over steaks. In the same skillet, cook steaks for 4-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Serve with onions.

BEEF FILLET STEAKS WITH PEPPER THYME SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large frying pan, cook beef on both sides, until cooked as desired. Transfer to a warm oven to keep warm.
• If like me you have very thick steaks I find I can not cook them to a medium rare on the stove, without burning the outside so I finish them off in the oven for about 15 Min's, on a higher heat setting.
• Heat remaining oil in same pan, add celery, onion and garlic, cook, stirring until vegetables soften.
• Add wine; stir until liquid is reduced by half, add cream, peppercorns and stock, bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 5 Min's or until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in thyme leaves, serve immediately over steak.
• I served mine over celeriac mash and a carrot casserole as a side but serve with your favourite veg and potato.

CHICAGO STEAKHOUSE PEPPERCORN-CRUSTED FILET WITH CRAB AU POIVRE

Steps:

• For the filets: Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. Spray a wire rack fitted into a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a medium pot, heat the black, green and pink peppercorns and 5 tablespoons of the oil over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until you see tiny bubbles, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool. Stir the salt into the pepper mixture to form a paste.
• Dip each filet all around in the peppercorn paste and place on the prepared sheet pan. Place in the oven to reverse sear until the internal temperature hits 120 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the first side of the filets until a very dark golden crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and repeat. Remove from the skillet and let rest on the wire-racked sheet pan, lightly tented with foil, for 5 minutes.
• For the crab au poivre: While the filets are cooking, coarsely crush the black peppercorns with either a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy frying pan. Set aside.
• In a large saute pan, heat the butter and oil over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the shallots and garlic and season with salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add the cognac and cook, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan, until it has almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the stock, chile paste, Dijon, thyme, the reserved crushed peppercorns, 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently stir in the crabmeat. Fold in the chives and parsley. Serve atop steaks.

• In a saucepan mix red wine, brandy, red wine vinegar, garlic clove, beef stock, water and crushed pepper. Bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer, simmer for about 10 minutes; you want to reduce slightly. Mix cornflour with a little water and add, stir until mixture thickens add double cream and light cream. Stir and pour into heatproof jug to serve.
• For the steaks heat an oiled pan, once hot add steaks and sear a couple of minutes on each side. Then cook until desired doneness. I bought really thick steaks so I cooked them 20-25 minutes for medium rare. So less cooking time if they are thin. Once cooked remove from pan and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
