PERFECT TENDERLOIN STEAK / FILETS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Roast an entire head of garlic by cutting off top, placing in a small Pyrex baking ramekin. Coat top with EVOO, salt, & pepper.
• Bake until the cloves are soft and golden, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Squeeze each head of garlic to expel the cloves into a bowl.
• SAVE THE OIL and add ½ tablespoon of butter. Set on counter to hold.
• Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
• Meanwhile, bring steaks to room temperature and sauté mushrooms.
• To sauté mushrooms, melt butter and EVOO in a large conventional (not non-stick) sauté pan over medium to med-high heat. After butter foaming stops, add mushrooms, and cook until they are nicely caramelized on both sides. Do not salt & pepper until they are browned, or they will release too much liquid, and take forever to brown. Once browned, add the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, brandy, beef broth, and roasted garlic. Reduce so that sauce is concentrated, and about ¼ original volume. Reduce to simmer to keep warm. Make an empty space in center of pan, to receive the steaks.
• Rub steaks with olive oil, and liberally season with salt and freshly ground coarse black pepper.
• Preheat grill (outdoor or indoor) to med-high for at least 5 minutes, with lid closed.
• Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, then place them in the pan, surrounded by mushrooms.
• Pour the garlic-infused oil with butter, from roasting the garlic, over each steak.
• Immediately place in the oven for 6½ to 7 minutes for medium rare.
• Remove from oven, cover with foil, and rest for 5 minutes, for juices to settle in meat.
• Serve steaks, smothered in mushrooms.

BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Place both chilies and plum tomato in heavy medium skillet. Toast over medium-high heat until chilies are fragrant and deepen in color and tomato turns black in spots, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool. Stem, seed and tear chilies into small pieces. Chop tomato. Place chilies, tomato and 1 cup water in small saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chilies are tender, about 10 minutes. Puree chili mixture in blender until smooth.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add 1 cup chicken stock and beef stock, then wine; boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Stir in chili puree, butter and rosemary; simmer 1 minute. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Add steaks to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Bring sauce to simmer, thinning with more chicken stock if necessary. Place 1 steak on each of 4 plates. Top each with 1/4 cup sauce. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
