Provided by Annie Denn

Categories     Beef     Berry     Cheese     Quick & Easy     Blue Cheese     Cranberry     Rosemary     Beef Tenderloin     Port     Winter     Bon Appétit     California

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 large garlic cloves, sliced
1 large shallot, sliced
1 1/4 cups canned beef broth
1 cup ruby Port
1/4 cup dried cranberries
4 5- to 6-ounce beef tenderloin steaks (each about 1 inch thick)
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallot, then 1 cup broth, Port and cranberries. Boil liquid until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 8 minutes. Set sauce aside.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Add steaks to skillet; cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to plate; cover loosely with foil. Add rosemary to skillet, then sauce and remaining 1/4 cup broth. Boil 1 minute, scraping up browned bits. Season with salt and pepper; spoon sauce over steaks. Top each with cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef tenderloins: Look for tenderloins that are well-marbled with a deep red color. Avoid any tenderloins that are pale or have a lot of connective tissue.
  • Trim the tenderloins: Remove any excess fat or connective tissue from the tenderloins. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Season the tenderloins generously: Season the tenderloins with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. You can also marinate the tenderloins in a flavorful marinade for several hours or overnight.
  • Sear the tenderloins over high heat: Sear the tenderloins in a hot skillet or grill until they are browned on all sides. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the juices from escaping.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the tenderloins to your desired doneness: Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the tenderloins until they reach your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the tenderloins should be 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 155°F for well-done.
  • Let the tenderloins rest before slicing: Let the tenderloins rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the tenderloins with your favorite sides: Serve the tenderloins with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Beef tenderloins are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or searing, there are many ways to enjoy this flavorful steak. With careful preparation and cooking, you can create a tender and juicy beef tenderloin that will impress your family and friends.
