Steak House Seared Beef Tenderloin Filets Recipes

BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND MADEIRA

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat (I make this on my electric frypan).
• Add in the mushrooms; saute until tender (about 10 minutes).
• Add in shallots with HALF the minced garlic; saute for about 3 minutes.
• Add in thyme and season with salt and pepper; transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season steaks with salt and pepper, and add to skillet.
• Cook the steaks to desired doneness (I cook them about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare).
• Transfer the steaks to a plate.
• Add in remaining 1/4 cup shallots and garlic to the same skillet; sate for about 2 minutes.
• Add in Madeira and boil until reduced by half (this should take about 3 minutes).
• Add in broth and boil until the mixture is reduced to about 2/3 cup (this should take about 6 minutes).
• Add in cream and boil for about 2 minutes.
• This is optional, do this only for a thicker sauce: in a small cup using a small whisk, mix together melted butter with 1 tablespoon flour; add to the simmering cream sauce; stir until thickened.
• Stir in the mushroom mixture, and then season the sauce with salt and pepper.
• Return the steaks to skillet and cook until heated through (about 1 minute).
• Transfer to plates and spoon the sauce over.

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 FILETS WITH HABANERO BUTTER

Steps:

• For the beef tenderloin: Put a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 150 degrees F, or lowest temperature setting. Season the steaks liberally all over with salt and pepper. Place on a rack over a roasting pan and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 125 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of a steak, about 90 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the habanero butter: Whisk together the butter, habanero, lime zest and juice, shallot, roasted garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, to firm up slightly.
• Set a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Get it extremely hot, and then add the grapeseed oil. Add the rested steaks and cook for 1 minute to add color, turn and cook 1 minute on the second side. Add the butter; as soon it starts to melt spoon it over the meat, and then immediately remove the steaks from pan. Rest 8 minutes and serve with the habanero butter on top.
