Beef Tenderloin With Cascabel Chile Aioli Marinade Recipes

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CASCABEL CHILE AIOLI MARINADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Place roasting pan on stove and heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Pat tenderloin with paper towels.
• Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
• Place in roasting pan with oil and roast in oven (or in a hot, covered grill).
• While meat cooks, toast Cascabel chile in a small skillet over high heat,.
• turning pieces once, until blistered and fragrant. I recommend using a Cascabel chili as it has a tangy medium hot flavor.
• Let cool until brittle.
• Using a mortar and pestle, pound chile into a powder.
• Mix powder in medium bowl with remaining ingredients to create the aioli.
• Remove meat from oven or grill after 25 to 30 minutes, or when internal temperature is in the 130 to 150 degree range. Because you are using such a hot oven, you may want to check the internal temperature of the meat as the 25 minute mark approaches to make sure you don't overcook it.
• Let rest 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice and serve with aioli on the side.

HERB-COATED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED-GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim tops of garlic by about 1/2 inch; place in parchment-lined foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wrap to seal and roast until soft, 1 hour. Unwrap and let cool completely.
• Slip garlic cloves out of their jackets and into a blender. Blend with egg, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until smooth. With motor running, slowly stream in 3/4 cup vegetable oil until thick and smooth; if too thin, add up to 1/4 cup more oil. Refrigerate in an airtight container at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days; season to taste before serving.
• Place beef on a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet; season generously with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Preheat oven to 275°F. Pat beef dry; brush with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer to a roasting pan or large ovenproof skillet, such as cast iron. Roast until a thermometer inserted in center reads 125°F for medium rare, 60 to 65 minutes. Tent with foil; let stand 15 minutes.
• Finely chop herbs on a large cutting board and spread out in an even layer. Untie roast and roll in herbs, pressing to coat. Transfer to a serving platter, slice, and serve with aioli.

MUSTARD-AND-CHILE-RUBBED ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Tie roast with kitchen string in three evenly spaced places to help keep its tubular shape.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil, the mustard, oregano, chipotle chile, chile powder, cumin, black pepper and garlic.
• In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil until very hot. Season beef generously all over with salt. Place it in pan and sear bottom without moving until it forms a golden brown crust, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and repeat with remaining sides.
• Transfer beef to a rimmed baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, smear mustard-chile rub all over beef. Roast until a thermometer registers 115 degrees for rare and 120 for medium-rare (beef will continue to cook as it rests), 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely, then wrap and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
