Beef Tenderloin With Roquefort Mascarpone Sauce Recipes

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROQUEFORT-MASCARPONE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper; set aside.
• Cut away and discard all the excess sinews and white skin from the beef.
• Tuck the ends under so that the beef is of uniform diameter.
• Tie at 3-inch intervals with kitchen twine to hold the meat together.
• Massage the oil into meat; rub the salt mixture onto the beef.
• Fill a serving platter with hot water to heat; discard the water and dry when ready to use.
• Place tenderloin on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; transfer to the oven and roast for 25-35 minutes, until the internal temperature is 125° for rare, 135° for medium-rare, and 140° for medium.
• Make Roquefort-Mascarpone Sauce: melt butter in a small skillet; add in shallots; cook over low heat until the shallots are softened but not browned, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add in port and continue cooking until the liquid is reduced to half its original volume.
• Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Mix the mascarpone and roquefort together in a small bowl until well combined; add the shallots and port; mix well; add salt to taste.
• Remove beef from the oven when meat reaches the desired temperature, remove the twine, and transfer the meat to the serving platter.
• Pour the pan juices over the meat and then spread the Roquefort-Mascarpone Sauce over the beef.
• Cover meat with a tent made of foil; let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
• To serve, slice the meat about ½ inch thick; serve the slices of meat with some of the melted sauce drizzled on top; serve immediately.

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROSEMARY, CHOCOLATE AND WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Season the meat with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat until good and hot, then add the meat and sear until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Transfer the meat to a rack set on a baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 140 degrees F for medium-rare, about 30 minutes, or to your desired degree of doneness. Remove it from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest until the sauce is nearly done before slicing.
• While the meat cooks, make the sauce. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, carrot and celery and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the wine and broth and stir in the tomato paste. Add the bay leaf and thyme and bring to a boil. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 40 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan. Stir in the cocoa and rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Serve on the side with the sliced tenderloin.
• Serving size 3 slices of meat and about 1 1/2 tablespoons of sauce

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the beef and broth in a 6-quart Dutch oven, making sure the beef is totally covered by the stock, and cover with foil, leaving a small opening for steam to escape. Poke a small hole in the foil and insert an instant-read thermometer into the meat. Cook over low heat until the beef reaches 125 degrees F, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer the beef to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the port to a boil and then reduce until about 1/3 cup. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, slice the beef, top with sauce and garnish with parsley.
• What Makes This Recipe Really Sing: Because the beef is brought to temperature up so slowly, it is very tender. It would make a killer steak sandwich.

BEEF TENDERLOINS WITH ROQUEFORT COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup butter and cheese in small bowl.
• Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.
• Stir in parsley, chives and pepper.
• Place butter mixture onto plastic food wrap; form into 4" log.
• Refrigerate until firm(about 1 hour).
• Sprinkle steaks with salt.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 12" skillet until sizzling; add garlic for 30 seconds.
• Add steaks to garlic infused butter.
• Cook over medium-high heat 4 minutes, turning once, until brown.
• Add wine.
• Cover, and continue cooking, turning once, until steak is at desired doneness(5-10 mins).
• Meanwhile, remove butter mixture from refrigerator; let stand at least 15 minutes.
• To serve, cut butter into 6 slices; place 1 slice on center of each hot steak.
• Serve steaks with any remaining pan juices, if desired.
• TIP: To keep the butter in a tubular shape versus having one side flatten by resting on the refrigerator shelf, try this trick. Cut the tube from an empty roll of paper towels crosswise into a 4" length. Make one lengthwise cut in the tube. Place plastic wrapped butter log in cardboard tube and refrigerate. (Land O' Lakes Recipe).
• Serve with sauteed mushrooms, white baked potatoes, roasted asparagus, freshly baked bread, and red wine.
• Enjoy!

FABULOUS BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place roast into a shallow, glass baking dish. Pour soy sauce and melted butter over the tenderloin.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn the roast over, and continue cooking 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally until the internal temperature of the roast is at 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium. Or, cook to your desired degree of doneness. Let meat rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH SOUR CREAM-HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix parsley, butter, and 3 tablespoons Dijon together in a small bowl. Combine green and pink peppercorns with salt in a small bowl.
• Place beef tenderloin on a rack set on top of a heavy, rimmed baking sheet. Rub butter mixture over the tenderloin, coating well. Pat peppercorn mixture into the butter. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 24 hours.

• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Uncover tenderloin and bake in the preheated oven until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 135 and 140 degrees F (57 and 60 degrees C) for medium-rare/medium.
• Transfer to a serving platter and loosely cover with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with the sour cream-horseradish sauce.

GORGONZOLA- AND MUSHROOM-STUFFED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MERLOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. To cut beef so that it can be filled and rolled, cut horizontally down length of beef, about 1/2 inch from top of beef, to within 1/2 inch of opposite side; open flat. Turn beef. Repeat with other side of beef, cutting from the inside edge to within 1/2 inch of opposite edge; open flat.
• In 10-inch skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and liquid has evaporated. Cool 5 minutes. Add bread crumbs, cheese and parsley; toss to combine.
• Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over beef to within 1 inch of edges. Tightly roll up beef, beginning with long side. Turn small end of beef under about 6 inches so it cooks evenly. Tie beef with kitchen string at about 1 1/2-inch intervals. In shallow roasting pan, place beef, seam side down, on rack. Brush with oil; sprinkle with salt. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef.
• Bake uncovered 30 to 40 minutes or until thermometer reads at least 140°F. Cover beef loosely with foil and let stand about 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°F, and beef will be easier to carve.)
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat all sauce ingredients to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly reduced and syrupy. Remove string from beef before carving. Serve beef with sauce.

BEEF TENDERLOINS WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat steaks with pepper on both sides. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until very hot. Sear steaks for 5 minutes on each side, then transfer to oven to finish cooking, about 8 minutes for medium rare. Transfer to a plate to rest while you make the sauce.
• In the same skillet that steaks were cooked in, cook shallots in oil over medium heat until translucent, 6 minutes. Add brandy, and cook, stirring constantly, until reduced to 1 tablespoon, 1 minute. Stir in mustard and cream. Bring to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sauce alongside the steaks.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MUSHROOMS AND ESPAGNOLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Remove any strings from beef if tied, then pat beef dry and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Heat oil in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until just smoking, then sear beef 1 piece at a time, turning with tongs, until well browned, about 5 minutes each. (If beef tenderloin pieces are too long to fit into skillet, halve each crosswise, then brown 2 pieces at a time.) Transfer beef to an 18- by 12-inch flameproof roasting pan, reserving skillet.
• Roast beef in oven until thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center of each piece registers 120°F, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer beef to a cutting board, reserving roasting pan, and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 25 minutes. (Beef will continue to cook as it stands, reaching 130°F for medium-rare.)
• While beef roasts, heat butter in skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then reduce heat to moderate and cook mushrooms, stirring, until liquid they give off is evaporated and mushrooms are pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• While beef stands, straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add Sherry and deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Add Sherry mixture and espagnole sauce to mushrooms and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until warm. Cover skillet and remove from heat.
• Cut off and discard strings from beef and cut meat crosswise into 10 or 20 slices. Pour any juices on cutting board into sauce and heat over moderate heat, stirring, until hot.
• Serve beef with sauce.
