Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 pint lump crabmeat, picked over for bits of shell and cartilage
1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot chile paste (recommended: sambal oelek)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint lump crabmeat, picked over for bits of shell and cartilage
1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot chile paste (recommended: sambal oelek)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 center-cut beef tenderloin steaks, each about 2 inches thick (about 2 pounds total) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint vine-ripened red cherry tomatoes, washed and dried
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 center-cut beef tenderloin steaks, each about 2 inches thick (about 2 pounds total) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint vine-ripened red cherry tomatoes, washed and dried
1 bunch arugula
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch arugula
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir the crabmeat together with the mayonnaise, chili paste, cilantro, and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator.
  • For the turf: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put a cast iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and get it hot. Drizzle in a 2-count of oil. If you choose to tie the fillets, take a piece of butchers twine and wrap it around each fillet twice to form a nice round shape. This will help the meat retain its shape while cooking. Sprinkle the beef all over with salt and pepper and sear for about 3 minutes on each side, until well browned. Shove the beef to the side and add the tomatoes to the pan; drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir gently to coat. Now put the pan in the oven and roast until the beef is rare and the tomatoes burst, 7 to 8 minutes. (Add 2 more minutes for medium rare, 5 more minutes for medium.)
  • For service: Wash the arugula and toss it in a bowl with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with a few turns of freshly ground black pepper.
  • To serve, arrange the steaks on a serving plate. Spoon the crab salad over the meat and scatter the tomatoes on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve with a small tangle of dressed arugula and a glass of rose wine.

TEA-SMOKED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR SALAD



Tea-Smoked Beef Tenderloin With Pear Salad image

A fantastic show stopper! The flavours are incredible and the dish is easier to put together than it reads. I actually cannot take much credit as it is one of my husband's signature dishes. He prepares the beef on the BBQ in a large stock pot; I am the sous chef on this one preparing the salad ;). You can prepare the salad in advance as well as the dressing. Add as much of the fresh herbs as you like. From the local paper. Great recipe if you are trying to reduce carbs. Recipe calories are lower than listed (only 500 per serving) as rice and brown sugar are not consumed but just used for the smoking
