Tenderloin For Two With Peppercorn Cream Recipes

PEPPERCORN CREAM BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat until hot.
• Sprinkle tenderloin steaks with salt and pepper. Sear tenderloin steaks on both sides in skillet. Remove from skillet, and place on a rack in a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat (leave door just a bit ajar) 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until meat thermometer registers 140° for rare or 150° for medium rare (160° for medium).
• Add brandy or bourbon to drippings in skillet; bring to a boil over medium heat, and deglaze pan, scraping browned bits that cling to bottom.
• Add minced garlic, peppercorns, oregano, and salt; cook 1 minute. Add whipping cream; bring to a boil, and cook 6 to 7 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half.
• Remove from heat; whisk in sour cream, and spoon sauce over steaks. Serve with noodles or baked potatoes.

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.
