BEEF TENDERLOIN IN SALT CRUST



Beef Tenderloin in Salt Crust image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
5 egg whites
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, and/or sage)
1 (6 to 7-pound) whole beef tenderloin, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the flour, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and water and add to the dry ingredients along with 2 tablespoons of the herbs. Combine with a potato masher until the mixture begins to come together. Then knead with your hands for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large zip-top bag, seal, and let stand at room temperature for 4 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface and roll out to 3/16-inch thickness, approximately a 24 by 18-inch rectangle. Trim away extra dough, if necessary. Sprinkle the remaining herbs on the center section of the dough and gently press down.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In order to achieve uniform cooking, fold over slender tail end of tenderloin and tie with kitchen twine. Set a large electric griddle at its highest setting; brush the tenderloin with the olive oil and sear on all sides until well browned, approximately 10 minutes. Rest the meat for at least 5 minutes or until it is cool to the touch so as not to melt the dough.
  • Place the tenderloin in the center of the dough. Fold top part of dough over, flipping back about 1-inch of dough onto itself. Repeat with the bottom half of the dough. Press together the 2 flaps of dough and seal. Make sure the dough is not too tight around the tenderloin. At the ends of the tenderloin, press together dough to form a seal and cut away any excess. Transfer to a sheet pan, place in the oven and roast to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. The tenderloin will continue to cook 10 to 15 degrees more. Cut salt crust at 1 end and extract meat by pulling out of dough tube. Slice and serve immediately.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB SALT CRUST



Beef Tenderloin with Herb Salt Crust image

Salt dough is distantly related to huff paste, a concoction of salt, flour, and water used to protect meat from the heat of an open spit; herbs and garlic infuse this wrapped tenderloin with incredible flavor while it cooks. When finished, the salt crust will be discarded.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons coarse salt
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
2 large eggs, separated
2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 piece (about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and 2 to 3 pounds) beef tenderloin, tied, room temperature
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
10 fresh sage, leaves
2 dried bay leaves
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
6 cloves garlic thinly, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 2 cups salt with 3 tablespoons thyme and 3 tablespoons rosemary. Add egg whites and 2/3 cup water; mix until thoroughly combined. A little at a time, add up to 2 cups flour, beating on medium speed, until mixture forms a firm, homogenous dough, 2 to 3 minutes. The dough should be firm but not too moist or sticky. If necessary, knead in additional flour or water. Form dough into a square; wrap in plastic. Let rest at room temperature at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse tenderloin, and pat dry. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, add beef. Sear well on all sides, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer tenderloin to a wire rack set over a baking pan to cool, 5 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to an approximately 10-by-15-inch rectangle (rectangle should be large enough to completely encase tenderloin). Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup thyme, 1/4 cup rosemary, the sage, bay leaves, parsley, and garlic over dough. Remove twine from tenderloin, and place it in the center of the dough. Roll dough around beef, completely encasing it. Press edges together to seal. Carefully transfer wrapped beef to a roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix egg yolks with 2 teaspoons water; brush entire surface of dough with egg wash. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons salt over the top.
  • Place baking pan in center of oven. Roast until crust is light golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 125 degrees to 130 degrees (for medium-rare), allowing 10 to 12 minutes per pound. Remove pan from oven; let rest at room temperature 1 hour.
  • When ready to serve, slice off the crust at one end, and remove beef; discard crust. Season beef with pepper, slice, and serve.

Tips:

  • Make sure the beef is completely covered in salt crust: This will help to create a barrier between the beef and the heat of the oven, resulting in a juicy and flavorful roast.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices: The basic recipe calls for rosemary, thyme, and garlic, but you can also add other herbs and spices that you like, such as sage, oregano, or paprika.
  • Let the beef rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Conclusion:

Herbed beef in salt crust is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The salt crust creates a flavorful and crispy exterior, while the herbs and spices add a delicious depth of flavor to the beef. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
