Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

One 3 1/2 to 4-pound trimmed beef tenderloin roast, tied
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows
Roasted Chili and Olive Ragout, recipe follows
1 bunch watercress
2 pounds large russet potatoes
Salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pitted and finely chopped olives
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup olives, pitted and finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 jalapeno peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded and finely diced
1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded and cut into medium dice
1 poblano pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded and cut into medium dice
1 yellow bell pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded and cut into medium dice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a smoker using olive branches. Place the beef tenderloin in the smoker and smoke for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pat the beef dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and oil in a roasting pan over moderately-high heat until the foam subsides. Then brown the beef well on all sides, about 10 minutes. Put the roasting pan with the beef in the middle of the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into the center registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Then cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • To serve, first place the Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes on a plate. Then lean 2 slices beef tenderloin on the potatoes. Place a large spoonful of the Roasted Chili and Olive Ragout around or on top. Garnish with watercress.
  • Peel and quarter the potatoes. Put the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in a 3-quart pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, covered with the lid, and then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and return to the pot. Add the olive oil and olives, and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in a saute pan. Add the red onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the rest of the olive oil and the olives, parsley and all the roasted peppers. Season with salt and pepper.

MASHED POTATOES WITH MANCHEGO AND OLIVE OIL



MASHED POTATOES WITH MANCHEGO AND OLIVE OIL image

Categories     Potato

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 heads of garlic, top third of each cut off
1/4 cup Spanish extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
6 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
Water
Salt
3 cups heavy cream, heated
1/2 pound young Manchego cheese, cut into 1/4-inch dice

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Stand the garlic on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle with oil and wrap in the foil. Bake for about 1 hour, until the garlic is very soft. Squeeze the soft cloves from the skins into a small bowl and mash with a fork. 2. Meanwhile, bring the potatoes to a boil in a large pot of water. Salt the water and boil over moderately high heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Shake the pot over moderately high heat for 1 minute to dry the potatoes. 3. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, then mash in half of the hot cream. Add the remaining cream and mash again. Stir in the Manchego to melt, then slowly stir in the mashed garlic and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and serve.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes: These varieties are best for mashing because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash.
  • Drain the potatoes well before mashing: This will prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes: This will give you the smoothest results.
  • Add warm milk and butter to the potatoes: This will make them rich and creamy.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Olive oil mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from weeknight dinners to holiday feasts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
