BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH SHALLOT MUSTARD SAUCE



Beef Tenderloin With Shallot Mustard Sauce image

We used a mixture of smooth and grainy mustards, but you may choose either.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces shallots (3 large), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup homemade beef or chicken stock, or canned
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons grainy mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Coat beef on all sides with the salt and pepper. Place a skillet with an ovenproof handle over medium-high heat, and add olive oil. When very hot, add meat; sear on all sides until browned. Transfer the pan to oven for 10 minutes. Add shallots to pan; return to oven for 15 to 20 minutes more, or until a meat thermometer registers 135 degrees for medium rare. Remove beef from pan; let rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes.
  • Place the pan with the shallots over medium-high heat, and deglaze by adding balsamic vinegar, stirring up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the stock, and simmer until slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and stir in mustards and butter. Keep sauce warm until serving. Cut beef into 1/2-inch-thick slices; top with the sauce, and serve.

Tips:

  • For a perfectly cooked beef tenderloin, use a meat thermometer to ensure that it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, or 155°F for medium-well.
  • Let the beef tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Make sure the cognac mustard sauce is hot when you serve it. This will help to keep the beef tenderloin warm and juicy.
  • If you don't have cognac on hand, you can substitute brandy or white wine in the sauce.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, use a good-quality Dijon mustard. Whole-grain mustard can also be used, but it will give the sauce a more rustic texture.
  • Serve the beef tenderloin with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

This beef tenderloin with cognac mustard sauce is a classic dish that is sure to impress your guests. The tenderloin is cooked to perfection and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner.
