Beef Tenderloin Filets with Habanero Butter image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 2-pound center-cut beef tenderloin, cut into four 2-inch steaks
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 habanero, seeded, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons minced roasted garlic, see Cook's Note
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 to 5 turns fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the beef tenderloin: Put a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 150 degrees F, or lowest temperature setting. Season the steaks liberally all over with salt and pepper. Place on a rack over a roasting pan and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 125 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of a steak, about 90 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the habanero butter: Whisk together the butter, habanero, lime zest and juice, shallot, roasted garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, to firm up slightly.
  • Set a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Get it extremely hot, and then add the grapeseed oil. Add the rested steaks and cook for 1 minute to add color, turn and cook 1 minute on the second side. Add the butter; as soon it starts to melt spoon it over the meat, and then immediately remove the steaks from pan. Rest 8 minutes and serve with the habanero butter on top.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound beef tenderloin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup mascarpone
1/4 cup ricotta
1 teaspoon horseradish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 slices Italian bread (1/2-inch slices)
2 cups baby arugula
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook 10 to 15 minutes more, until the tenderloin is medium-rare (125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer). Remove to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Combine the mozzarella, mascarpone, ricotta, horseradish, mustard, Worcestershire and smoked paprika in a medium bowl.
  • Thinly slice the tenderloin. Spread 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each bread slice. Divide the steak and arugula among half the bread slices, then form sandwiches with the remaining bread slices.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (see Cook's Note). Place the sandwiches in the skillet and weigh them down with a foil-wrapped brick or a heavy lid. Cook for 2 minutes; flip, and cook an additional 2 minutes.

THE BEST EVER BEEF TENDERLOIN (FILET OF BEEF)



The Best Ever Beef Tenderloin (Filet of Beef) image

My lovely step-mother, Jan, is one of the best cooks I know! This Beef Tenderloin is one of her specialty recipes, and it is absolutely mouth-watering delicious! I love it because it is quite fast and easy to cook (after the marinating time), yet, it is perfect for special occasion meals, because it tastes like you slaved over it. Please note that the prep/cooking time does not include the over-night marinating. Please also note that the marinade will come out as a paste (after cooking it)--this is normal (thickened by the cornstarch), and is meant to be place on the top of the meat, as it cooks like a wonderful crust!

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 1/2-5 lbs filet of beef (whole) or 4 1/2-5 lbs beef tenderloin (whole)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons chopped ginger
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in heavy saucepan; mMix well.
  • Bring just to boiling point.
  • Remove from heat, and allow to cool.
  • Place beef in a glass, enamel, or stainless steel pan.
  • Pour cooled marinade over beef, and cover.
  • Allow to marinate overnight in fridge.
  • Remove from fridge several hours before roasting.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Place meat in shallow baking pan, and pour marinade over it.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, basting with marinade from time to time.
  • Reduce heat to 350°F.
  • Continue roasting another 20 minutes (or until beef reaches desired doneness).
  • Remove from oven and let cool in marinade.
  • Cut into thin slices and serve at room temperature.
  • NOTE: This is best served rare to med-rare. It is most often done after 40 minutes of roasting, so please be careful not to overcook.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef tenderloin filets. Look for filets that are well-marbled and have a deep red color.
  • Season the filets generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the beef.
  • Sear the filets in a hot skillet until they are browned on all sides. This will create a flavorful crust and help to lock in the juices.
  • Transfer the filets to a baking dish and cook them in a preheated oven until they reach your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the filets should be 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.
  • Let the filets rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the filets with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Gala beef tenderloin filets are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can create a perfectly cooked steak that will impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give this recipe a try.
