Beef Tenderloin Easy Wine Sauce Recipes

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH QUICK RED WINE PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking.
• On the tail end of the tenderloin, about a third of the way from where it begins to taper, make an incision almost all the way through the beef. Fold the tail onto the larger portion to make an even cylinder throughout. Use ten to twelve 8-inch pieces of butcher's twine to tie the tenderloin crosswise every 3/4 to 1 inch. This will help it to keep its shape and cook evenly.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• Pat the tenderloin dry. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season heavily with salt and pepper all around. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the beef and sear on all sides until a nice crust is formed, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add the thyme, garlic and 3 tablespoons of the butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, use a spoon to baste the beef with the herb and garlic infused butter for 30 seconds.
• Transfer the beef to a rack on a baking sheet, spoon over 2 tablespoons of the herb and garlic butter mixture from the cast-iron pan (reserve the pan) and roast until the internal temperature of the thickest part reaches 120 degrees F (for medium rare), 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the tenderloin. Cover the beef with foil and rest for 15 minutes.
• Add the shallots to the remaining herb and garlic butter mixture in the cast-iron pan and sweat over medium heat until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine and reduce until almost dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the beef stock, bring to a simmer and reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thoroughly mix the remaining 2 tablespoons butter with the flour in a small bowl.
• Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the butter and flour mixture bit by bit, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Serve with the perfectly roasted beef.

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 5 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
• While the liquid is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and soften in the microwave, if necessary (it should be soft but not melted). Add the flour and, using a small spoon, mix into a smooth paste.
• Once the wine mixture is reduced, reduce the heat to low and remove the thyme sprigs. Whisk the flour-butter paste, a teaspoonful at a time, into the simmering liquid, and simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Set aside. (The sauce can be made up to this point and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead of time.)
• Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Season the beef all over with kosher salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Cook, turning with tongs, until well browned on all but one side, about 10 minutes total. Turn the tenderloin so that the un-seared side is down, and transfer the skillet directly to the preheated oven. (If your pan isn't oven-proof, transfer the beef to a lightly oiled roasting pan.) Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 120°F-125° for medium rare, about 15 minutes, or until done to your liking (115°F-120°F for rare, 130°F-135°F for medium). Keep in mind that these temperatures account for the fact that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees while the meat rests.
• Transfer the meat to a carving board (preferably with a well for collecting juices) and let it rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Place a dishtowel or oven mitt over the handle of the roasting pan to remind yourself that it's hot.
• Meanwhile, carefully discard the fat from the roasting pan (remember that the handle is hot!). Set the pan on the stovetop and add the ¼ cup of beef broth. Bring the broth to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape the fond, or brown bits, from the bottom of the pan. Add the flavorful broth to the red wine sauce, and then bring the sauce to a simmer.
• Carve the tenderloin into ⅓-inch-thick slices. Serve the beef, passing the red wine sauce at the table.

• Boil wine, shallot, mushrooms, carrot, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a 3-quart heavy saucepan until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes. Add veal stock and return to a boil. Pour through a fine sieve into a 2-quart heavy saucepan, pressing on and discarding solids. Return sauce to a boil. Stir together arrowroot and Madeira and whisk into sauce.

Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• Bring broth, water, and salt to a simmer in a small saucepan. Drain marrow and transfer with a slotted spoon to saucepan. Poach at a bare simmer 8 minutes.

BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 5 tablespoons of butter. Add the shallots and cook stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper, and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 35-45 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
• While the wine mixture is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of softened butter in a small bowl and add the flour. Mix the butter and flour until a smooth paste is formed.
• Once the wine mixture is reduced, remove it from the heat and strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl or measuring pitcher, discard the solids then return the wine mixture to the saucepan.
• Return the saucepan to the stove and simmer over medium-low heat. Gradually, whisk in the flour mixture and allow the sauce to simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.You can make the sauce up to this point 2 days in advanced.
• Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator about an hour before roasting and allow it to sit at room temperature.
• Using a thin sharp knife (like a utility or paring knife), trim the silver skin (the silver thin membrane of chewy connective tissue on the beef surface). Then, tie the tenderloin. If one end is more tapered than the other, bend it under the roast and secure it when tying so the roast is an even thickness throughout.
• Pat dry the beef tenderloin and season it generously with salt and ground black pepper. Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Heat a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is hot, place the roast in the skillet and sear, turning with tongs until golden brown and all but one side. Turn the roast over with tongs to the unseared side and turn off the heat.
• Transfer the skillet to the pre-heated oven and roast for about 15 minutes, depending on the size of your roast, until an oven-safe meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 120 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. The temperature of the meat will continue to rise about 5 degrees after it is removed from the oven while it is resting, before slicing.
• Transfer the beef roast to a cutting board or platter and allow it to rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, carefully discard some of the fat from the skillet. Set the pan on the stovetop and add the 1/4 cup of beef broth. Bring to a boil and using a wooden spoon scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and add the broth from the skillet to the red wine sauce. Mix to combine and then bring the sauce to a simmer over low heat for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Slice the beef tenderloin and serve with the wine sauce.
