BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CREAMY RISOTTO



Beef Tenderloin With Creamy Risotto image

If you love melt-in-your-mouth Tenderloin that will impress your family or guests, this recipe is for you! I was so delighted with this simple recipe. Once the tenderloin was cooking in the marinade, everyone found their way to the kitchen following their noses....and it tastes even better than it smells! The rice is lightly creamy and flavorful. I found the recipe in Kraft's Food and Family Winter 2005 Magazine. The recipe calls for Minute White Rice, however, I used Organic Jasmine Rice (Prepared as the recipe states for the Minute Rice (ingredients) - with adjusted time and in it's own pot - then added to veggie pan) and it worked out perfectly. The recipe also states to use Kraft's Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette, but since my grocer does not carry that flavor Vinaigrette, I used Kraft Special Collection Roasted Red Pepper Italian with Parmesan.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crust, pat the beef tenderloin dry before searing. This will help the rub adhere and create a crispy outer layer.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the beef tenderloin. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the beef tenderloin is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the meat to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the beef tenderloin rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the beef tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Espresso-blackened beef tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of espresso, coffee, and chili powder creates a flavorful crust that complements the tenderloin perfectly. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
