Grilled Beef Tenderloin With Hoisin Plum Mop Recipes

GRILLED HOISIN BEEF

Steps:

• Whisk hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper together in a large mixing bowl.
• Cut skirt steak crosswise into about 4 or 5 smaller pieces. Transfer steak into marinade and toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate; marinate at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Line a baking pan with paper towels. Transfer pieces of steak to the paper towels and mop off some of the marinade.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Transfer steak pieces to grill. Cook to medium rare or medium, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 130 and 135 degrees F (about 54 degrees C). Thinner pieces might finish earlier. Transfer steak to a warm plate. Let rest for a few minutes.
• Transfer steak to a warm serving platter and pour any accumulated juices over skirt steak. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-GARLIC-PEPPER COATING

Steps:

• Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
• Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
• Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.

HOISIN-GLAZED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef all over with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering, then sear the beef on all sides until it is a mahogany brown, about 8 minutes in all (any longer and you're cooking the beef too much, that may have been why my roast came out almost medium, instead of medium-rare).
• Transfer the roast to a shallow roasting pan. Don't clean out the skillet! Leave everything in the skillet as you'll need it for the mushrooms.
• Brush the tenderloin all over with the hoisin sauce, just bathe the thing with the sauce. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 125° for medium-rare, about 30-40 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest while you do the mushrooms.
• Heat the skillet (that you saved) over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and the scallion WHITES, garlic, ginger, the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and red pepper flakes and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the scallion greens and sherry (or rice wine) and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Slice the roast and serve with the mushroom mixture.
• **I think this would also be good with a mixture of different mushrooms, especially wild mushrooms.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HOISIN-PLUM MOP

Steps:

• TO MAKE THE MARINADE: In a medium bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients.Trim the tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Place the tenderloin in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, set on a plate, and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours.TO MAKE THE MOP: In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan combine the mop ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat, stir, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the plums are falling apart and the liquid thickens, about 45 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, press the mop through a sieve to remove the plum skins. Return the mop to the saucepan and simmer until about 1 cup of liquid is left.Remove the tenderloin from the bag and discard the marinade. Wipe excess marinade off the tenderloin with paper towels. Allow to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.Brush the tenderloin with sesame oil and season with salt. Sear over Direct Medium heat until well marked, about 20 minutes, turning a quarter turn every 5 minutes. Continue grilling over Indirect Medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium rare, 15 to 25 minutes, turning and basting occasionally with the mop.Remove the tenderloin from the grill and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. The temperature will rise 5°F to 10°F during this time. Cut into 3/4 to 1 inch thick slices and serve warm. If desired, bring the remaining mop to a boil over high heat and boil for 1 full minute, then serve as a sauce.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling. Copyright © 2001 Weber-Stephen Products Co.
