Categories     Beef     Main Course     Spice Mix

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds whole beef tenderloin
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons Steve's Rub (recipe follows)
3 Tablespoons fine sea salt
2 Tablespoons paprika
2 Tablespoons celery salt
2 Tablespoons onion powder
2 Tablespoons coarsely ground pepper
2 Tablespoons garlic powder
1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients and store in an air tight container.
  • At least 2-1/2 hours before serving prepare the tenderloin by trimming off the excess fat.
  • Brush the beef with balsamic vinegar then olive oil and season with 2 Tablespoons of the dry rub.
  • Cover the tenderloin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (I like to let mine marinate overnight). Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to take the chill off the meat.
  • Preheat the grill to a high temperature for searing.
  • Sear the tenderloin for 4 minutes on each side.
  • Turn the grill down to medium. If you have 2 or more burners, leave one burner on medium-high and turn one off. Put the meat over the burner that is off, then close the lid and cook for 15 to 20 minutes for medium rare. Depending on the heat of your grill and the thickness of the roast, the time can vary. The best way to determine doneness is to use a thermometer. Medium rare beef is 135°F.
  • Let the tenderloin rest for at least 15 minutes under a foil tent before slicing. This will give the juices time to settle into the meat.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 pounds center cut beef tenderloin, trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Potato Flan, recipe follows
1 cup Red Onion Marmalade, recipe follows
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons minced garlic
9 Yukon Gold potatoes, very thinly sliced (about 3 pounds)
1/2 pound gruyere, grated
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup ruby port
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Tie the beef with butcher's string and rub with the olive oil. Combine the rosemary, parsley, thyme, and garlic and pat the mixture on the beef. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
  • Over high heat sear the beef in an ovenproof skillet, turning to brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the skillet directly into the oven and roast the beef for 20 to 25 minutes. Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before removing the string and slicing.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Line the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Rub the parchment paper with butter and a little bit of the garlic. Lay the potatoes in overlapping rows to cover the bottom of the parchment paper. Sprinkle with some of the cheese and garlic. Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes, cheese and garlic have been used.
  • Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Press down on the potatoes to distribute the egg mixture. Cover the dish with parchment paper and bake for 1 1/2 hours. (Remove the parchment paper from the top for the last 20 minutes to brown the top).
  • Allow the flan to rest for at least 15 minutes before turning out of the pan and cutting into serving sizes. This dish is best made a day ahead, then portioned and reheated in 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a medium pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the onions, and cook for 7 minutes until soft, stirring frequently. Stir in the sugar and salt, and cook for a further 7 minutes. Add the port and vinegar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the thyme. Keeps for 1 week stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container

MUSTARD-AND-CHILE-RUBBED ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN



Mustard-and-Chile-Rubbed Roasted Beef Tenderloin image

For parties or picnics, meat that you've prepared the day before is a time-saving trick worth adopting. Everyone knows that beef tenderloin, served hot, is a fail-safe dish for a dinner party. It comes out of the oven caramelized, glistening and perfect. If the primary goal is to serve it chilled or room temperature, however, the trick is to swab the meat with flavor - lots of chile powder, oregano, garlic, mustard and olive oil - before sliding it into the oven (roast it rare so it stays tender and juicy). The next day all you need to do is slice and serve, no compensatory condiments necessary. The flavors of mustard and chile, carried by the fat in the olive oil, have penetrated the meat beautifully.

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 2-pound beef tenderloin, trimmed, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large garlic clove, passed through a garlic press
Kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Tie roast with kitchen string in three evenly spaced places to help keep its tubular shape.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil, the mustard, oregano, chipotle chile, chile powder, cumin, black pepper and garlic.
  • In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil until very hot. Season beef generously all over with salt. Place it in pan and sear bottom without moving until it forms a golden brown crust, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and repeat with remaining sides.
  • Transfer beef to a rimmed baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, smear mustard-chile rub all over beef. Roast until a thermometer registers 115 degrees for rare and 120 for medium-rare (beef will continue to cook as it rests), 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely, then wrap and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-GARLIC-PEPPER COATING



Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Herb-Garlic-Pepper Coating image

Rosemary, thyme, and garlic season a whole beef tenderloin which is then grilled to a rosy pink.

Provided by USA WEEKEND Pam Anderson

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 13

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (5 pound) whole beef tenderloin
6 tablespoons olive oil
8 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
  • Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
  • Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.
