Provided by Campbell's Kitchen

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Swanson®

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 beef tenderloin steaks (1 1/2 inches thick)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely diced shallots
1 tablespoon deli-style brown mustard
1 cup Swanson® Beef Stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat the steaks very dry with paper towels; season both sides with salt and pepper. Allow steaks to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes while the oven pre-heats.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast iron pan over medium-high heat for about one minute. Add the oil to pan and swirl to evenly distribute the oil. Place the steaks in the pan, allowing room between steaks. Cook without moving steaks for 2 minutes. Using tongs, lift the steaks and flip them over. If properly seared the steaks should release easily, without sticking to the pan. Immediately place cast iron pan into the hot oven.
  • Cook steaks until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove skillet from oven and transfer steaks to a warm plate lightly tented with foil. (The internal temperature of the steaks will increase by about 5 degrees while resting.)
  • Melt unsalted butter in the same skillet over low heat; add diced shallots. Cook and stir, releasing the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Stir in the deli mustard.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk in Swanson® Beef Stock and Worcestershire sauce, continuing to scrape up browned bits from the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Whisk in the cream; simmer until sauce clings to the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley, chives, thyme, and oregano.
  • Spoon the herb sauce over steaks; serve immediately.

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Potato Flan, recipe follows
1 cup Red Onion Marmalade, recipe follows
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Tie the beef with butcher's string and rub with the olive oil. Combine the rosemary, parsley, thyme, and garlic and pat the mixture on the beef. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
  • Over high heat sear the beef in an ovenproof skillet, turning to brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the skillet directly into the oven and roast the beef for 20 to 25 minutes. Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before removing the string and slicing.

Lay the potatoes in overlapping rows to cover the bottom of the parchment paper. Sprinkle with some of the cheese and garlic. Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes, cheese and garlic have been used.
  • Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Press down on the potatoes to distribute the egg mixture. Cover the dish with parchment paper and bake for 1 1/2 hours. (Remove the parchment paper from the top for the last 20 minutes to brown the top).
  • Allow the flan to rest for at least 15 minutes before turning out of the pan and cutting into serving sizes. This dish is best made a day ahead, then portioned and reheated in 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a medium pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the onions, and cook for 7 minutes until soft, stirring frequently. Stir in the sugar and salt, and cook for a further 7 minutes. Add the port and vinegar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the thyme.

HERB-MARINATED TENDERLOIN



Herb-Marinated Tenderloin image

Tenderloin (sometimes called filet mignon) is the king of steaks. It's lean, tender, you can add any desired flavor to it and it will absorb it all, and you can cut it with a butter knife. This is expensive, though, so only cook this once in a while.

Time 4h28m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) fillet beef tenderloin (filet mignon)
6 fresh sage leaves
1 clove garlic, cut into sixths
4 fresh thyme sprigs
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the fillets 4 to 6 minutes per side, until no longer pink, or to desired doneness.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-GARLIC-PEPPER COATING



Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Herb-Garlic-Pepper Coating image

Rosemary, thyme, and garlic season a whole beef tenderloin which is then grilled to a rosy pink.

Provided by USA WEEKEND Pam Anderson

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 13

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (5 pound) whole beef tenderloin
6 tablespoons olive oil
8 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
  • Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
  • Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef tenderloin steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Marinate the steaks: Marinating the steaks in a mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil will help to tenderize them and add flavor.
  • Cook the steaks over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness: Rare is 125°F, medium-rare is 135°F, medium is 145°F, and well-done is 160°F.
  • Let the steaks rest before serving: This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the steaks, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Herbed beef tenderloin steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your steaks are cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
