Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
- Remove beef tenderloin roast from refrigerator and trim away any excess silver skin. Let roast sit at room temperature for 15 minutes and then rub beef with 1 tablespoon oil and season all sides with salt, black pepper and fresh rosemary. Set aside.
- Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear beef in skillet for 2-3 minutes per side. Place seared tenderloin in a large roasting pan. Place in preheated 475 degree oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin registers 120-125 degrees F for rare/medium rare.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet used to seared the beef. Add shallots and sauté over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add red wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping the bottom and sides of skillet.
- Cook red wine for 2-3 minutes before slowly stirring in the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce has reduced by two thirds, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in remaining butter, stirring until melted.
- Once beef tenderloin has reached desired temperature, remove from oven and tent with foil. Allow meat to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve sliced beef tenderloin roast with warm red wine demi-glace.

Steps:
- Melt 5 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
- While the liquid is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and soften in the microwave, if necessary (it should be soft but not melted). Add the flour and, using a small spoon, mix into a smooth paste.
- Once the wine mixture is reduced, reduce the heat to low and remove the thyme sprigs. Whisk the flour-butter paste, a teaspoonful at a time, into the simmering liquid, and simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Set aside. (The sauce can be made up to this point and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead of time.)
- Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Season the beef all over with kosher salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Cook, turning with tongs, until well browned on all but one side, about 10 minutes total. Turn the tenderloin so that the un-seared side is down, and transfer the skillet directly to the preheated oven. (If your pan isn't oven-proof, transfer the beef to a lightly oiled roasting pan.) Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 120°F-125° for medium rare, about 15 minutes, or until done to your liking (115°F-120°F for rare, 130°F-135°F for medium). Keep in mind that these temperatures account for the fact that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees while the meat rests.
- Transfer the meat to a carving board (preferably with a well for collecting juices) and let it rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Place a dishtowel or oven mitt over the handle of the roasting pan to remind yourself that it's hot.
- Meanwhile, carefully discard the fat from the roasting pan (remember that the handle is hot!). Set the pan on the stovetop and add the ¼ cup of beef broth. Bring the broth to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape the fond, or brown bits, from the bottom of the pan. Add the flavorful broth to the red wine sauce, and then bring the sauce to a simmer.
- Carve the tenderloin into ⅓-inch-thick slices. Serve the beef, passing the red wine sauce at the table.

Steps:
- Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking.
- On the tail end of the tenderloin, about a third of the way from where it begins to taper, make an incision almost all the way through the beef. Fold the tail onto the larger portion to make an even cylinder throughout. Use ten to twelve 8-inch pieces of butcher's twine to tie the tenderloin crosswise every 3/4 to 1 inch. This will help it to keep its shape and cook evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
- Pat the tenderloin dry. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season heavily with salt and pepper all around. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the beef and sear on all sides until a nice crust is formed, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add the thyme, garlic and 3 tablespoons of the butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, use a spoon to baste the beef with the herb and garlic infused butter for 30 seconds.
- Transfer the beef to a rack on a baking sheet, spoon over 2 tablespoons of the herb and garlic butter mixture from the cast-iron pan (reserve the pan) and roast until the internal temperature of the thickest part reaches 120 degrees F (for medium rare), 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the tenderloin. Cover the beef with foil and rest for 15 minutes.
- Add the shallots to the remaining herb and garlic butter mixture in the cast-iron pan and sweat over medium heat until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine and reduce until almost dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the beef stock, bring to a simmer and reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, thoroughly mix the remaining 2 tablespoons butter with the flour in a small bowl.
- Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the butter and flour mixture bit by bit, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Serve with the perfectly roasted beef.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat your oven to 400 F.
- Rub the tenderloin roast all over with the garlic clove halves. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
- In an open shallow pan, roast the tenderloin for about 30 to 35 minutes. It should reach 125 F to 130 F for medium rare to medium. If the roast is very cold, count on more time.
- Remove the roast from oven and place it on a warm platter to let it rest. Retain the pan drippings.
- Add oil, mushrooms, chopped shallot or green onion , and minced garlic to the pan drippings; place over medium heat and sauté until tender.
- Stir in flour until well blended; add the red wine and broth.
- Simmer until reduced by about 1/4 to 1/3.
- Add thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the sauce into a serving dish such as a gravy boat.
- Slice the tenderloin after it has rested for at least five minutes.
- Serve the sauce alongside the sliced tenderloin and enjoy.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH RED WINE, ANCHOVIES, GARLIC AND THYME
"How To Eat" by Nigella Lawson is a cookbook, but one of its great joys is its narrative form: Very few of the recipes are written in standard recipe format. This recipe, from the Dinner chapter, is an exception. "This, to me, is the perfect dinner," Ms. Lawson writes, "simple, impeccable, beautiful." She suggests serving it with a pea and avocado salad, and adding arugula leaves not only for decorative reasons but also because "its pepperiness perfectly offsets the salty pungency of the anchovy-red-wine sauce."

Steps:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or pot in which the beef will fit comfortably (the two pieces mustn't touch each other, and no scrunching at the ends), heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil over lowish heat. Add the shallots, sprinkle with a little salt, and sauté until soft and transparent but in no way coloring, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and give 2 more minutes, stirring, then add the garlic and push about the pot.
- Add the anchovies and cook until they've started fusing with the oniony, buttery, oily mess in the pot. Transfer this shallot mixture to a bowl for a minute so you can brown the meat.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot and turn up the heat. Pat the beef dry and season it all over with salt and pepper. Sear the beef on all sides, sprinkling with the sugar as you do so, till you've got a good crusty exterior. Add the brandy, let it bubble up a bit, then pour in the wine.
- Return the shallot mixture to the pot. Lower the heat and turn the meat over. Give everything a good stir to make sure the shallots, garlic and so on are not burning or sticking. Cover and cook for 10 minutes - the meat is braising, frying and steaming all at the same time; as it cooks it breathes in flavor.
- Uncover, peek in, prod or poke. If the meat is springy, it's rare; springy but with some resistance, medium-rare to medium. Turn the meat over, cover again, and leave for another 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your findings and taste. When the meat is almost as you like it, transfer it to a cutting board (it will cook a little more as it rests) and get on with the sauce. And you can do all this before you sit down for the first course.
- Fish out the garlic from the pot with a spoon. Then turn up the heat and let the sauce bubble up a good bit, and taste, adding salt, if needed, and pepper. You may want to add some water. Take off the heat, but warm up before serving, at which time you should first pour into it the meat juices that have run out of the cooked beef as it stands and whisk in the remaining chilled, diced butter.
- Carve the beef, arrange on a large, warmed platter, and surround with arugula. Drizzle over some of the sauce, leaving the rest in a sauce boat or pitcher for people to pour for themselves.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. If necessary, trim fat from beef. Turn small end of beef under about 6 inches. Tie turned-under portion with string at about 1 1/2-inch intervals. Place in shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and cracked black pepper. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef.
- For medium-rare, roast uncovered 30 to 40 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 15 to 20 minutes until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F, and beef will be easier to carve.) For medium, roast uncovered 40 to 50 minutes or until thermometer reads 150°F. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 15 to 20 minutes until thermometer reads 160°F.
- Meanwhile, in 8-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook about 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add wine; cook about 4 minutes until reduced slightly. Stir in broth. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook about 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1 cup. Beat in remaining 4 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, with wire whisk. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Remove string from beef before carving. Serve sauce with beef.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS & RED WINE SAUCE
If you really want to impress your dinner guests for the holidays or any special occasion, I highly recommend this recipe. The meat is extremely tender and flavorful and the sauce is out of this world. Note: It is very important to allow the meat to come to room temperature before cooking. It is also important that you allow it to rest for 15 minutes after it has cooked. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Brush the beef with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly and generously season salt and pepper. Set the beef on a rack placed on top of a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Roast the beef until a thermometer reads 120 degrees for rare, about 25 minutes; 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 30 minutes; 140 degrees for medium, about 40 minutes. Wrap the beef in the foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes (the temperature will rise as the beef rests).
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sugar. Cook and stir occasionally until brown, at least 10 minutes (I caramelized mine for 40 minutes). Add the wine and broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the liquid is reduced to 1 c, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the rosemary. Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp butter.
- Unwrap the tenderloin and set it on a carving board. Pour all of the accumulated juices from the tenderloin into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Slice the meat and serve it with the sauce.
- Enjoy!

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH RED-WINE AND MARROW SAUCE
_Filet de Boeuf à la Bordelaise_ Active time: 3 hr Start to finish: 25 hr (includes making stock and soaking marrow)
Yield Makes 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 21
Steps:
- Rinse marrowbones and soak in warm water to cover 10 minutes. Press on 1 bone with your thumb at end of bone with smaller opening, pushing marrow out other end. Discard bone and repeat with remaining bones. Cut marrow crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Cover marrow with cold water in a bowl and chill, changing water twice, 24 hours.
- Boil wine, shallot, mushrooms, carrot, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a 3-quart heavy saucepan until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes. Add veal stock and return to a boil. Pour through a fine sieve into a 2-quart heavy saucepan, pressing on and discarding solids. Return sauce to a boil. Stir together arrowroot and Madeira and whisk into sauce. Simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes, then stir in salt and season with pepper.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pat beef dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in a small flameproof roasting pan over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown beef well on all sides, about 10 minutes. Put roasting pan with beef in middle of oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center registers 130°F for medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- Bring broth, water, and salt to a simmer in a small saucepan. Drain marrow and transfer with a slotted spoon to saucepan. Poach at a bare simmer 8 minutes.
- Bring sauce to a simmer and add marrow using slotted spoon.
- Pour some sauce over sliced beef and serve remainder on side. If desired, arrange marrow rounds between beef slices with slotted spoon.
Tips:
- To ensure the beef tenderloin is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The USDA recommends cooking beef to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, and 170°F (77°C) for medium-well.
- For a richer flavor, marinate the beef tenderloin in red wine, herbs, and spices for at least 4 hours before cooking.
- To create a flavorful glaze, reduce the red wine, beef broth, and balsamic vinegar until it thickens and becomes syrupy. Brush the glaze over the beef tenderloin during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Serve the beef tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
Conclusion:
Beef tenderloin with red wine glaze is an elegant and delicious dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tenderloin is cooked to perfection and the red wine glaze adds a rich and flavorful crust. This dish is sure to impress your guests and will leave them wanting more.
