Roasted 3 Peppercorn Beef Tenderloin With Cherry Sauce Recipes

PEPPERCORN ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Place the tenderloin on a roasting rack. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and sugar, which will deepen the savory flavors.
• Press the crushed peppercorns all over the surface of the meat. Insert a meat thermometer and place in the oven until the beef registers 120 to 125 degrees F for medium-rare/rare. Beef will probably cook in 20 to 25 minutes depending on its temp before it goes in the oven.
• While the meat is roasting, melt the butter with the garlic in a small skillet, and allow the butter to slightly brown. Remove the garlic and discard.
• Remove the meat when it's done and pour the garlic butter over gently (it should sizzle when it hits the meat). Cover the meat loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

PEPPERCORN ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Place garlic and 1 pinch kosher salt into a mortar and pestle; grind garlic until it forms a paste. Mix olive oil into garlic.
• Place roast into a baking dish. Brush garlic paste on one side of the roast. Season generously with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
• Combine peppercorns in a small bowl. Press ground peppercorn mixture generously onto roast. Flip meat and repeat, brushing with garlic paste and seasoning with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and peppercorn mixture.
• If desired, place roast on a rack over baking dish and refrigerate uncovered overnight to dry out. The next day, remove and let meat stand 1 hour to reach room temperature.
• Melt butter in a large ovenproof skillet; turn off heat. Place roast into hot butter and flip to coat both sides. Season with more salt if desired.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Roast meat in skillet in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove meat from oven and flip in skillet.
• Turn oven down to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Roast meat until pepper crust is lightly browned and an instant-read meat thermometer, inserted into the center of the roast, reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), about 15 more minutes.
• Transfer roast to a platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let roast stand at least 15 minutes.
• Place skillet with pan drippings over medium heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes to remove raw taste from flour. Whisk in veal stock.
• Turn heat to medium-high, bring sauce to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer pan sauce, stirring constantly, until reduced by half and sauce has slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and 1 pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir balsamic vinegar and any accumulated juices from meat platter into pan sauce.
• Carve beef across the grain, starting at the smallest corner of the roast. Serve slices on warmed plates drizzled with pan sauce.

WHOLE ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH A GREEN PEPPERCORN BUTTER

Steps:

• Marinade/Rub -- In a small bowl, add the black peppercorns (crushed) not ground. To crush my peppercorns I put them in a small baggie and use a meat mallet or rolling pin and just hit them until they are roughly crushed. Add the salt, dijon mustard, garlic, olive oil and mix well. Take this mixture and rub all over the meat very well. Put the meat in a glass not metal pan and cover with plastic wrap and let marinate all day. At least 4 hours, but I have even let it go overnight and it tasted great.
• Butter -- In a small bowl, add the butter, green peppercorns drained and rough chopped, shallot, lemon juice, dijon mustard, worcestershire and parsley. Mix well. Then spread on a small piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Wrap it up and form in a small log shape. Refrigerate until firm. The butter will be cut in small rounds and added to each slice of beef when served.
• Steak -- Three things to remember. First, always let the beef come to room temperature before cooking. Second, the ends are always thinner, so I fold them in and then tie them with a piece of kitchen twine to make the ends approximately the same size as the rest of the tenderloin. If you didn't wrap the ends in, they would be well done while the rest of the tenderloin was still raw. And third, the key is a good pan sear in a heavy pan on the stove. On medium high to high heat (cast iron or oven proof pan) heat up the butter and oil and pan sear the room temperature tenderloin until brown on each side. Not too long - just long enough to a nice crust.
• Once your tenderloin is golden brown, remove from the heat and transfer to the oven; 450 degrees for about 8-10 minutes. Trust me - there is NO MAGIC time. Everyone's oven, pans and meat are different. There isn't that perfect time that works every time and even when I cook this recipe, each time it is a bit different and it should be, that is normal. I have 2 tenderloins in the freezer. One is flatter and the other thicker, both the same weight. And it is common sense that they will take different times to cook, so just remember that using a thermometer is really the only way to test and to make sure the meat is cooked to the right temperature.
• After 8-10 minutes check the temperature using a meat thermometer; and I take 2 readings to make sure you get an accurate read. Remove the tenderloin just before your tenderloin reaches that perfect temperature as the tenderloin once removed will continue to cook as it rests. I remove at these temperatures as the meat will usually go up 3-5 degrees as it rests. So, 120 for rare; 130 for medium rare; 140 for medium; and 150 for medium well to well.
• Once the beef reaches the correct temperature, remove from the oven and from the pan, cover with foil and let rest 10-15 minutes before slicing.
• Serve -- Slice the tenderloin and serve with a slice of the chilled peppercorn butter. It will melt and drizzle all over the steak.
• Garnish -- If you want, a few crumbles of gorgonzola cheese are a nice touch, just a few. Or another favorite is just a few very thin fried onion rings.

ROASTED 3 PEPPERCORN BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Roasted 3 Peppercorn Beef Tenderloin 1.Preheat your barbeque for medium high heat 375°F -425°F (190°C-218°C). Leave one burner off. Oil grill to prevent sticking. Place the peppercorns in a coffee grinder and pulse until the peppercorns are broken and smashed. Place the cracked peppercorns in a bowl; stir in the rosemary and salt. Rub the peppercorn mixture all over beef. Place beef on a tray and let meat come to room temperature. This will help the beef cook evenly. Brush the beef with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the tenderloin on the hot side of the grill. Cook (with barbeque lid open) for approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until nice char marks are achieved. Once char marks are achieved, move the beef over to the indirect (heat turned off) side of the barbeque. Close the barbeque lid and continue to cook for 20-25 minutes or until desired doneness. 2.To determine if meat is ready, insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the tenderloin, for medium rare, the temperature should read 125°F (51°C). Remove beef from grill and tent with foil. Let meat rest for 15-20 minutes before carving and serving. Slice the beef and serve with the cherry sauce. Cherry Sauce 1.To prepare the sauce, combine wine, shallot, rosemary, ginger and thyme in a medium sized saucepan. Place saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Remove the sauce from heat and strain the liquid using a fine mesh strainer. Add the balsamic vinegar and sliced cherries while wine mixture is still hot. Season sauce to taste with salt. Keep warm.
