Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ pound shallots, halved lengthwise and peeled
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups beef broth
¾ cup port wine
1 ½ teaspoons tomato paste
2 pounds beef tenderloin roast, trimmed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 slices bacon, diced
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 sprigs watercress, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In 9 inch pie pan, toss shallots with oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until shallots are deep brown and very tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • In a large saucepan, combine beef broth and port. Bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until the volume is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Whisk in tomato paste. Set aside.
  • Pat beef dry; sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. In a large roasting pan, set over medium heat on the stove top, saute bacon until golden. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Add beef to pan; brown on all sides over medium high heat, about 7 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to oven. Roast beef until meat thermometer inserted into center registers 125 degrees F (50 degrees C) for medium rare, about 25 minutes. Transfer beef to platter. Tent loosely with foil.
  • Spoon fat off top of pan drippings in roasting pan. Place pan over high heat on stove top. Add broth mixture, and bring to boil; stir to scrape up any browned bits. Transfer to a medium saucepan, and bring to simmer. Mix 1 1/2 tablespoon butter and flour in small bowl to form smooth paste; whisk into broth mixture, and simmer until sauce thickens. Whisk in remaining butter. Stir in roasted shallots and reserved bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut beef into 1/2 inch thick slices. Spoon some sauce over, and garnish with watercress.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 11h10m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bottom round roast (5 pounds), trimmed and tied
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound shallots, peeled and trimmed, halved if large
1/4 cup chopped garlic (from 1 head)
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
2 handfuls sage, oregano, rosemary, or thyme sprigs, or a combination
1/2 cup dry vermouth, such as Dolin
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 cups sour cream
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons drained prepared horseradish
Mostarda, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Season beef with 2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Unwrap and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

One 2-inch-thick boneless rib-eye (1 1/2 pounds), tied with 2 pieces of twine to keep it together in a compact round shape
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter
10 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 head garlic, cloves smashed
Fleur de sel, for sprinkling
2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Roasted Shallots, recipe follows
8 shallots, cut in half through the root, skins left on
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for finishing
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Season the steak rather liberally with kosher salt. Bring it to room temperature, about 1 hour outside of the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Combine the paprika, cumin, mustard and a few turns of freshly cracked pepper in a small bowl. Season the steak with the rub.
  • Heat the canola oil in a saute pan over high heat until smoking. Add the steak and sear on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Add the butter, thyme, rosemary and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium low and baste the steak with the butter as it begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes (without burning).
  • Transfer the steak to a rack in a roasting pan and top with a few pieces of the herbs and garlic and 3 spoonfuls of the butter. Roast to an internal temperature of 120 degrees F for medium rare, 7 to 10 minutes. Allow the meat to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Finish the sliced meat with a sprinkle of fleur de sel and a drizzle of aged balsamic and olive oil. Serve with the roasted shallots and a simple watercress salad if desired.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Toss the shallots with the olive oil and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Lay the shallots on a baking sheet cut-side down. Roast until the shallots are very tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Toss the shallots with the vinegar and additional olive oil.

ROAST BEEF WITH RED WINE & BANANA SHALLOTS



Roast beef with red wine & banana shallots image

Succulent roast topside of beef, made especially irresistible with a mustard crust, piquant shallots and red wine enriched gravy

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Main course

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 with leftover meat

Number Of Ingredients 11

2kg topside of beef (buy one with a layer of natural fat on the top)
1 tbsp vegetable oil or sunflower oil
1 tbsp English mustard powder
1 tsp Maldon sea salt
2 large carrots , halved lengthways
12 banana shallots , peeled and halved lengthways
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp plain flour
300ml full-bodied red wine ( I used a shiraz blend)
500ml fresh beef stock
2 tsp redcurrant jelly

Steps:

  • Let the meat come to room temperature for 1 hr before you roast it. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Dry the meat with kitchen paper, then rub the oil all over it. Mix the mustard powder with the sea salt and 1 tsp pepper, then rub this over the meat too. Lay the carrots in a large roasting tin to make a trivet and sit the beef on top, fat-side up.
  • Roast for 15 mins, then turn the heat down to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and roast for another 55 mins. This will give you medium beef; for medium-rare, cook for 45 mins. (When it's done, a probe thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the beef should read 65C).
  • With 30 mins cooking time left, baste the beef in the fat that has pooled in the tin, add the shallots and bay leaves, and coat these in the fat too. Season and return to the oven. Meanwhile, boil the wine in a small saucepan to reduce it by two-thirds.
  • When the meat is ready, transfer to a board, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest. Turn the oven up to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and return the tin to the oven for a further 10-15 mins until the shallots are tender.
  • Scoop out the shallots with a slotted spoon and set aside to keep warm. Remove the excess fat from the tin and discard, leaving 1 tbsp fat and all the dark juices behind. Add the flour and cook on the hob for 2 mins, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the reduced wine, followed by the stock and redcurrant jelly, scraping up all the tasty bits from the bottom of the tin. Bubble until thickened and rich, add the juices from the resting meat, then season to taste. Discard the carrots. Serve the beef with the gravy and shallots.

Provided by Stephen Terry

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ¼kg piece centre-cut beef fillet , trimmed
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tbsp olive oil
8 shallots , peeled and finely sliced
20 button mushrooms , finely sliced
75ml sherry vinegar
1 bottle fruity red wine , such as Rioja
1l good-quality beef stock

Pour in the vinegar, then simmer until almost evaporated. Add the red wine, then simmer until almost evaporated. Add the beef stock, bring to the boil, then reduce by two-thirds. Pass the mixture through a fine sieve, then keep warm until ready to serve. Can be made the day before and reheated.

Add all juices from the beef to the sauce, then gently heat the sauce up and whisk in the butter.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED SHALLOTS



Beef Tenderloin With Roasted Shallots image

This recipe is modified from Christine's at Allrecipes.com. It is a gourmet-style meal that is great for a dinner party with the boss. A little time consuming but will make a novice look like a pro. The shallot sauce alone is worth the recipe. I made this and doubled the recipe. No leftovers. Will have to triple it next time! You can prepare the shallots a day ahead of time (especially helpful if you plan on serving this for a holiday dinner).

Time 4h

Yield 6 serving(s)

3/4 lb shallot, peeled and halved lengthwise

ROAST BEEF WITH SHALLOTS AND NEW POTATOES



Roast Beef with Shallots and New Potatoes image

Categories     Beef     Potato     Side     Roast     Steam     Winter     Shallot     Simmer     Boil

Yield serve 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds small red new potatoes (10 to 12), halved, or quartered if large
1 pound shallots (8 to 10), peeled and trimmed, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds eye-of-round beef roast, tied
Lemon-thyme green beans
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish (optional)
(serves 4)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a large, rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes and shallots with the oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Push the potatoes and shallots toward the edges of the baking sheet; place the roast in the center. Turn the roast to coat with the oil on the pan and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Roast, tossing the potatoes and shallots occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the beef registers 130°F (for medium-rare), 40 to 50 minutes. Let the beef rest, loosely covered with aluminum foil, before slicing and serving with the potatoes and shallots.
  • Lemon-thyme green beans
  • In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, bring 1/2 inch water to a boil; salt generously.
  • Add the green beans; reduce to a simmer, and cover the skillet. Steam the beans, tossing occasionally, until crisptender, 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Pull the lid back slightly, and tilt the skillet to drain the water from the green beans; add the lemon juice, butter, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to melt butter. Serve the green beans garnished with additional thyme, if desired.

Tips:

  • To ensure the beef is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C); for medium, cook to 145°F (63°C); and for medium-well, cook to 155°F (68°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check for doneness by making a small cut into the center of the beef. The juices should run clear for medium-rare, slightly pink for medium, and mostly brown for medium-well.
  • Let the beef rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • To make a quick and easy gravy, whisk together the pan drippings, beef broth, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened.
  • Serve the roast beef with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Roast beef with shallots is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its tender, juicy meat and flavorful sauce, it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy beef recipe, give this one a try.
