Beef Tenderloin With Parmesan Cream Sauce Recipes

SLOW-ROASTED FILET OF BEEF AND BASIL PARMESAN MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Use an oven thermometer to be sure your oven temperature is accurate.
• Place the filet on a sheet pan and pat it dry (all over) with paper towels. Brush the filet all over with the oil, reserving about half a tablespoon. Sprinkle it all over with the salt and pepper (it will seem like a lot but believe me, it makes a difference). Place the tarragon branches around the beef, tying them in 4 or 5 places with kitchen twine to keep them in place, and then brush the tarragon with the reserved oil.
• Roast the filet of beef for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the temperature registers 125 degrees in the center for rare and 135 degrees for medium-rare. Cover the filet with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Slice thickly and serve warm or at room temperature with Basil Parmesan Mayonnaise.
• Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, Parmesan, mustard, basil, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process for 20 seconds, until smooth. Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. With the processor running, slowly pour the oil mixture through the feed tube to make a thick emulsion. Taste for seasonings -- the mayonnaise is a sauce so it should be highly seasoned. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use; it will keep for up to a week.

BEEF TENDERLOINS WITH CREAM SAUCE

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Instructions Heat oven to 400°F. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks; cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned. Place steaks on a greased 15 x 10-inch baking pan. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in meat reads 145°F. Transfer steaks to a serving platter; tent with aluminum foil. Let rest for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until shallots are tender, stirring occasionally. Add wine, stirring to loosen any browned bits from bottom of pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 3-5 minutes longer or until wine is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in cream and Dijon mustard. Bring sauce just to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and whisk for 4-6 minutes longer or until sauce is thickened. Remove from the heat. Gradually whisk in parmesan until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with steaks.

PAN ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH A MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a fry pan over medium high heat, add a splash of olive oil and half a teaspoon of butter.
• Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper and add to pan.
• Add the clove of garlic and sprig of fresh thyme.
• Slowly roast the beef tenderloin on all sides, turning routinely every 2 to 3 minutes.
• To cook the beef tenderloin medium, this should take approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
• Once roasted nicely, golden brown, remove the beef tenderloin and keep warm off to one side.
• Pick out the garlic and thyme, return the pan to the heat, and add a splash of cognac and flame so as to allow the alcohol to burn off.
• Add the chicken stock and reduce by two- thirds, then add the cream and simmer gently to reduce and thicken by half.
• Season with salt and pepper and keep sauce warm on one side.
• Using a clean fry pan, over high heat, quickly sauté your choice of assorted mushrooms that have been picked over and cut into hazel nut size pieces.
• Sauté in a splash of olive oil and butter.
• Season with salt and pepper; this should take 3 to 4 minutes for the mushrooms to soften and release some juices.
• Arrange beef tenderloin& mushrooms on your plates, then drizzle sauce around the mushrooms and a little over the tenderloin.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
