PEPPERED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons mixed peppercorns (black, white, green, pink)
1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, plus additional parsley for garnish
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt
2 1/2 pounds center-cut beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied if uneven
Savory Horseradish Panna Cotta, recipe follows, optional
Cooking spray
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
Kosher salt
1 3/4 cups half-and-half
2 teaspoons gelatin (from a .25-ounce package)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Coarsely grind the peppercorns in a spice or coffee grinder and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the parsley, mustard, butter and 1 tablespoon salt in a medium bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined. Rub the spiced butter all over the tenderloin, rolling the beef in the portions that fall off to coat completely. The beef can be prepared up to this point, covered, and refrigerated up to 1 day in advance.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the beef on a rack and set over a baking sheet. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 130 degrees F for medium rare, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer the beef to a cutting board, preferably a meat board with a reservoir to catch the juices, and garnish with the parsley.
  • Spray six 4- to 6-ounce ramekins with cooking spray. Stir together the sour cream, Dijon, horseradish and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Heat the half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it just barely comes to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, put the gelatin in a large bowl, add 3 tablespoons warm water and stir until completely dissolved. Gradually pour in the warm half-and-half while whisking constantly.
  • Add a splash of the half-and-half mixture to the sour cream mixture and stir to loosen, then add the sour cream mixture to the large bowl with the half-and-half mixture, whisking gently until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the ramekins (the ramekins will not be full) and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours. The panna cottas can be kept refrigerated, covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days
  • When ready to serve, run a thin knife along the edge of each ramekin and invert the pana cottas onto plates. Sprinkle with the chives and serve immediately.

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.

Peppercorn-Crusted Beef Tenderloin image

An elegant option for when a crowd-pleasing classic entree is the way to go.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 whole beef tenderloin, about 4 pounds and 3 inches in diameter, trimmed and tied
Olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon whole green peppercorns, coarsely ground

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 475 degrees.
  • Let tenderloin rest at room temperature 1 hour. Pat meat with paper towels to dry, then lightly coat all over with oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and ground peppercorns, gently pressing to help them adhere.
  • Set a cast-iron griddle or large roasting pan over two burners and heat over high until hot. Carefully rub griddle lightly with oil. (If using a roasting pan, add enough oil to barely coat the bottom of the pan.) Heat until hot but not smoking, then place the tenderloin on the griddle and sear on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Use tongs to transfer beef to a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 20 to 30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Transfer tenderloin to a carving board and slice to desired thickness (about 1/2 inch is a nice size) before serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure a tender and juicy beef tenderloin, select a cut that is at least 1 1/2 inches thick.
  • For the best flavor, use a high-quality Merlot wine.
  • Be sure to season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper before searing.
  • Sear the beef tenderloin over high heat to create a nice crust.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the beef tenderloin for 10-12 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Allow the beef tenderloin to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Peppered Beef Tenderloin with Merlot is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The beef tenderloin is tender and juicy, and the Merlot wine sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
