Beef Tenderloin With Cascabel Chile Aioli Marinade Recipes

CHILE-RUBBED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GARLIC-HERB OIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix together the ancho chile powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne, garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the olive oil on the tenderloin, then rub evenly with the spice mixture. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Heat the canola oil in a large ovensafe skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin (bending it to fit in the skillet if necessary) until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin reads 130 degrees F (for medium rare), about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Remove the string and slice the tenderloin crosswise. Spoon over some of the Garlic-Herb Oil and sprinkle the meat with additional salt. Serve the remaining Garlic-Herb Oil in a bowl on the side.
• Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan. Turn the heat to medium low and gently poach the garlic for 5 minutes; the oil should be at a very bare simmer but not boiling, otherwise the garlic will burn. Turn off the heat and allow to cool completely.
• Remove the garlic from the oil and discard; transfer the oil to a bowl. Add the parsley, cilantro, chives, red pepper flakes and salt to taste to the oil and stir to combine.

Turn to coat; cover and refrigerate overnight., Drain and discard marinade and bay leaf. Place tenderloin on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 55-60 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting often with reserved marinade. let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

• turning pieces once, until blistered and fragrant. I recommend using a Cascabel chili as it has a tangy medium hot flavor.
• Let cool until brittle.
• Using a mortar and pestle, pound chile into a powder.
• Mix powder in medium bowl with remaining ingredients to create the aioli.
• Remove meat from oven or grill after 25 to 30 minutes, or when internal temperature is in the 130 to 150 degree range. Because you are using such a hot oven, you may want to check the internal temperature of the meat as the 25 minute mark approaches to make sure you don't overcook it.
• Let rest 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice and serve with aioli on the side.

• In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil until very hot. Season beef generously all over with salt. Place it in pan and sear bottom without moving until it forms a golden brown crust, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and repeat with remaining sides.
• Transfer beef to a rimmed baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, smear mustard-chile rub all over beef. Roast until a thermometer registers 115 degrees for rare and 120 for medium-rare (beef will continue to cook as it rests), 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely, then wrap and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

• Slip garlic cloves out of their jackets and into a blender. Blend with egg, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until smooth. With motor running, slowly stream in 3/4 cup vegetable oil until thick and smooth; if too thin, add up to 1/4 cup more oil. Refrigerate in an airtight container at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days; season to taste before serving.
• Place beef on a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet; season generously with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Preheat oven to 275°F. Pat beef dry; brush with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer to a roasting pan or large ovenproof skillet, such as cast iron. Roast until a thermometer inserted in center reads 125°F for medium rare, 60 to 65 minutes. Tent with foil; let stand 15 minutes.

STEAK WITH CASCABEL CHILE AND LIME

Steps:

• 1. Pull firmly, but gradually, on the chile stems to release the seed pod and stems. Shake out remaining seeds. In a small dry skillet over medium heat toast the chiles, pressing with a spatula and turning, until aromatic and slightly softened, 10 to 15 seconds. Put the chiles in a bowl and barely cover with hot water. Cover the bowl and soak the chiles about 30 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in the same skillet and cook the onion and garlic over medium-low heat until softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a blender. Taste the chile-soaking water, and if it's not bitter, save it for the sauce. Lift the chiles from the water and add them to the blender. Add 3 tablespoons chile water and 2 tablespoons tap water (or 5 tablespoons water). Purée smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender. 3. Scrape the paste into a fine-mesh strainer placed over a bowl. Press with the back of a wooden spoon to release the pulp. Stir 1/4 teaspoon of the salt into the paste. 4. Put the remaining oil on a plate and coat the steaks, 1 at a time, on both sides with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lay 2 of the steaks in the hot pan. Spread about 1 teaspoon of chile paste on top of each steak. Cook until the steaks are browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn the meat and spread 1 teaspoon of chile paste on the cooked side. Cook until the steaks are done to your taste, about 3 more minutes for medium rare. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Wipe pan. Repeat with the remaining 2 steaks. Serve hot with lime wedges.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
