EASY BEEF TENDERLOIN CROSTINIS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500F. Place the beef tenderloin on a baking sheet, drizzle with 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, and season liberally with salt and pepper, making sure to rub oil and seasoning evenly over all sides of the tenderloin.
• Roast the tenderloin for 20 minutes or until an internal thermometer reads 125F for rare to medium-rare meat. Remove from the oven and tent with aluminum foil. Let the beef tenderloin rest while you prepare the crostinis and horseradish sauce, about 20 minutes.
• Turn down the oven to 400F. Thinly slice your baguettes into 1/2-inch slices, yielding around 50 crostinis. Organize the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet (you may need more than one) and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil (or more if desired). Bake for about 7-8 minutes until lightly toasted and golden brown. Note: For extra crunchy crostinis, reduce heat to 350F and bake, rotating baking sheet(s) halfway through, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Once they have reached your ideal texture, remove the crostinis from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
• While the meat and crostinis are cooling, make the homemade horseradish sauce. Combine the sour cream, horseradish, and minced chives in a medium bowl and stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the tented foil from the beef tenderloin, transfer the meat to a cutting board, and thinly slice. Spoon a dime-sized dollop of homemade horseradish sauce onto each toasted crostini, followed by a thin slice of beef tenderloin. Top each crostini off with another dime-sized dollop of horseradish sauce and add some microgreens on top for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!

GORGONZOLA-STUFFED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring meat to room temperature, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, make filling: Toast bread crumbs in a small frying pan over medium heat until deep golden brown, stirring, 4 to 5 minutes; let cool.
• Set aside 2 tbsp. gorgonzola and 1 tbsp. parsley and chill. Combine bread crumbs, remaining cheese, 3 tbsp. parsley, 1 tbsp. chives, and 1 tsp. thyme in a bowl until well blended. Chill until cold, 1 hour.
• Heat a grill to medium (350° to 450°) with a burner turned off (for gas) or coals pushed to sides of firegrate (for charcoal) to make an indirect-heat area. Cut a lengthwise slit down center of meat to within 1 in. of underside and 1/2 in. from ends, forming two sections. In each section, center a slit parallel to first, with the same depth and length. Densely pack the three slits with filling. Press cut sides together. Season roast with 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper.
• Lay meat cut side up. Wrap in bacon, overlapping ends under roast if bacon is long enough. Tie roast crosswise with kitchen twine at 1-in. intervals.
• Grill beef, covered, over direct heat until lightly browned, turning as needed (watch carefully), 10 to 15 minutes. Move meat to indirect heat and cook, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat (not filling) reaches 135°, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a platter, tent with foil, and let rest in a warm place 20 minutes.
