Beef Tenderloin With A Dark Ale And Mushroom Sauce Recipes

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH A DARK ALE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the endives in half, remove the core, place in a small pot. Add 1 tablespoon butter, salt, pepper, sugar, and 1 cup ale beer. Bring to a boil, cover with a piece of parchment paper and place in a 350 degree oven. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until slightly brown in color and the beer has reduced by 1/2.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan or casserole. Season the meat with salt and pepper on all sides. When the oil is very hot, sear the meat, caramelizing all sides evenly. When seared, drain off the fat and add the Belgian beer.
• Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• Roast the meat in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy-bottomed pot, add the onions, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Squeeze the mushrooms out of the juice, and add to the onions, cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with 2 cups beer, and reduce until almost dry. Then add the mushroom rehydrating liquid, and reduce until almost dry. Add the veal stock and the cream, and reduce at low heat until thick. Check the seasoning, reserve.
• To serve, slice the meat in 1/2 to 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place on a plate, surround with the endive leaves. Put the wild mushrooms around the meat and cover with a thin layer of the sauce and serve immediately.

BEEF TENDERLOIN IN MUSHROOM-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a medium roasting pan with foil.
• Lightly coat the tenderloin with olive oil; place on a plate and let sit out on the counter until almost room temperature (this might take several hours, this is an important step so do not omit, this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender and juicy beef roast!).
• Season the beef with salt and black pepper (nothing else!).
• Place in the roasting pan and bake uncovered in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile while the roast is cooking; melt the 1/2 cup butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Add in onions slices, garlic and mushrooms; cook stirring for about 6-7 minutes.
• Add/stir in wine, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning and hot sauce and pinch of black pepper.
• In a small bowl whisk together beef broth and flour until completely blended and smooth; add to the wine mixture.
• Reduce the heat and simmer stirring occasionally for 10 minutes or until the onion slices are tender.
• Remove the beef from the oven and reduce heat to 425 degrees, then top with prepared mushroom/wine sauce; return to oven for about 16-18 minutes more or to desired doneness.
• Transfer the beef to a serving platter and pour the sauce over beef or transfer to a gravy server.
• Let beef stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.

BEEF TENDERLOIN IN MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil over medium-high heat; cook steaks to desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°), 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from pan, reserving drippings; keep warm., In same pan, heat drippings and remaining butter over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms and green onion until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended; gradually stir in broth and, if desired, browning sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with steaks.

BEEF TENDERLOIN FILET WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• For the beef tenderloin: Preheat a saute pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Lightly oil the steaks. Place the steaks in the very hot pan and get a good sear on both sides. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the pan and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes.
• For the mushroom sauce: Drain the fat from the pan. Add the shallots, bring the pan to a medium heat and season with salt. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes, and then add in the garlic. Cook the garlic and shallots together for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, season with salt and stir to coat with the oil. Cook the mushrooms until they look soft and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the veal demi-glace. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes; the consistency should be almost as thick as gravy. If it is still thin, let it simmer for another couple of minutes until it does thicken.
• Check the consistency by coating a spoon with the sauce, turn the spoon over and draw a line down the middle of the spoon with your finger. If your finger leaves a track down the spoon without moving, then it is ready! Taste and adjust the salt, if needed.
• For the twice-baked potato mash and green beans: Add the potatoes to a pot of salted water. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and pass through a food mill or ricer. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream. Fold in the broccoli and Cheddar. Taste and season with salt as needed.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from the water and immediately add to a salted ice bath. Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add green beans and saute quickly until heated through.
• Serve the filets with the mushroom sauce on top and the twice-baked potato mash and green beans on the side.

• Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper and add to pan.
• Add the clove of garlic and sprig of fresh thyme.
• Slowly roast the beef tenderloin on all sides, turning routinely every 2 to 3 minutes.

• Add the chicken stock and reduce by two- thirds, then add the cream and simmer gently to reduce and thicken by half.
• Season with salt and pepper and keep sauce warm on one side.
• Using a clean fry pan, over high heat, quickly sauté your choice of assorted mushrooms that have been picked over and cut into hazel nut size pieces.
• Sauté in a splash of olive oil and butter.

• Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Press evenly into surface of beef. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Brown beef evenly on all sides to sear.

Roast in 425-degree F. oven about 30 to 35 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness.
• Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat 1-1/2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat until hot. Add half of mushrooms and the shallots. Cook and stir until mushrooms are tender. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining butter and mushrooms. Set aside.

• Remove roast from oven when meat thermometer registers 135°F degrees. Transfer roast to carving board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10 degrees to reach 145 degrees F. for medium rare.)
• Carve roast into slices. If desired, immediately before serving, stir 1 tablespoon softened butter into sauce. Serve with roast.
