Beef Tenderloin With Wasabi Cream Sauce Recipes

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 5 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
• While the liquid is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and soften in the microwave, if necessary (it should be soft but not melted). Add the flour and, using a small spoon, mix into a smooth paste.
• Once the wine mixture is reduced, reduce the heat to low and remove the thyme sprigs. Whisk the flour-butter paste, a teaspoonful at a time, into the simmering liquid, and simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Set aside. (The sauce can be made up to this point and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead of time.)
• Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Season the beef all over with kosher salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Cook, turning with tongs, until well browned on all but one side, about 10 minutes total. Turn the tenderloin so that the un-seared side is down, and transfer the skillet directly to the preheated oven. (If your pan isn't oven-proof, transfer the beef to a lightly oiled roasting pan.) Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 120°F-125° for medium rare, about 15 minutes, or until done to your liking (115°F-120°F for rare, 130°F-135°F for medium). Keep in mind that these temperatures account for the fact that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees while the meat rests.
• Transfer the meat to a carving board (preferably with a well for collecting juices) and let it rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Place a dishtowel or oven mitt over the handle of the roasting pan to remind yourself that it's hot.
• Meanwhile, carefully discard the fat from the roasting pan (remember that the handle is hot!). Set the pan on the stovetop and add the ¼ cup of beef broth. Bring the broth to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape the fond, or brown bits, from the bottom of the pan. Add the flavorful broth to the red wine sauce, and then bring the sauce to a simmer.
• Carve the tenderloin into ⅓-inch-thick slices. Serve the beef, passing the red wine sauce at the table.

OVEN-ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• (A step-by-step demo of this prep was posted in the African Forum, and should appear also in the Index thread, under "Beef", in the Kitchen Information Reference Forum).
• Heat oven to 325 deg F/160 deg C IF you intend roasting the fillet immediately after preparation.
• A whole fillet has one thick part and then tapers to a narrow point at the end. In this shape it is not very useable.
• First trim off the shiny sinew which covers part of the top of the tenderloin by scraping it off gently with a sharp paring knife, so as not to waste meat. Trim off excess fatty bits. WEIGH your tenderloin, which is important for oven timing.
• Fold the thin end like a fish tail towards the thick end, and then start tying up the folded "tail end" very tightly with kitchen string. Truss the entire tenderloin this way, at intervals of 1/2 inch. In the end you should have a piece of meat which seems equally thick, and will be easy to handle.
• Mix the flour, ginger, salt and pepper in a dish into which the meat can fit.
• Rub or pat the entire roast with the mustard.
• Put it in the flour mixture, and with the help of a spoon and your hands, scoop up and pat this on all over the meat.
• At this stage it's oven-ready, and can be covered and rested either at room temperature or, if for longer than an hour, in the fridge. It's best to bring it to room temperature before roasting.
• You can time your tenderloin more or less like this: 15 minutes per pound at 325 deg F/160 deg C should almost guarantee you a rare roast, provided it wasn't freezingly cold when it went into the oven. Twenty minutes per pound should yield a medium-rare roast. If that's still too undercooked to your taste, give it 15 minutes extra in the oven, i.e. 75 minutes at 325 deg F. Personally, I think any more than that and it will be too well done.
• Test the roast about 2/3 through roasting as described in the intro. Convection ovens like mine are notoriously fast (I can't work out exactly why, because the temperature is correct!
• Remove, and rest the roast for 15 minutes at least. It can be left in a warming oven, and do warm your serving plates as well.
• For the sauce, crush the (drained) peppercorns in a mortar and pestle. If you don't have one, put the peppercorns in small batches in a tablespoon, and use the rounded part of another tablespoon to crush them a little.
• Mix all ingredients well, and ladle into a small bowl. This can be heated gently in the warming oven with the meat, or you can heat it over low heat in a small pot first.
• Slice hot, at the table, using a very sharp knife to avoid pushing down on the meat and letting the juices run out. Serve with a spoonful of the sour cream sauce, and side dishes of your choice.
