Grilled Beef Tenderloin With Roasted Garlic Sauce Recipes

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.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GRILLED SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Grind the toasted spices in a spice grinder and add to a small bowl with cayenne. Fold the tail end of the beef under to create a roll of meat that is even in thickness. Tie with butcher's twine to secure. This will help the meat to cook evenly and to be handled easily. Once the tenderloin is tied, season the beef generously with salt and rub with the spice mix. Give it a little massage with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Place the tenderloin on the preheated grill and grill on all sides until it is very brown and charred on the outside. When the tenderloin is nice and brown on all the sides, move it to a cooler part of the grill and shut the grill and cook until it is cooked to the desired doneness (medium rare for me), about 20 to 25 minutes or so for medium-rare. If cooking indoors, put the meat in a preheated 375 degrees F oven to roast to the desired doneness, about 125 to 130 degrees F for medium-rare. Remove the meat from the grill or oven to a cutting board and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing; this will keep the tenderloin very juicy.
• Meanwhile, toss the onions with extra-virgin olive oil and salt and place on the preheated grill. Grill until they are soft and charred. Remove from the grill and reserve.
• To serve, remove the string from the beef. Cut into relatively thin slices, but thicker if you prefer. Serve 3 slices of beef, for each serving, with the grilled onions and a spoonful of Horseradish Cream.
• MMMMM...BIG MEAT!
• Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl. Taste for seasoning, adjust salt if needed. Easy peasy!

GRILLED BRINED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Warm water in a large pot over high heat. Add salt and stir to dissolve. Stir in brown sugar, orange, lemon, lime, cilantro, garlic, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, fennel, coriander, and cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover. Let brine simmer for 20 minutes.
• Fill a sink with ice water. Remove brine from heat and place pot into the sink. Cool, stirring, until brine reaches room temperature. Pour into a large plastic or glass vessel such as a 12-quart Cambro®. Add pork tenderloin pieces. Cover and let soak 6 hours to overnight.
• Remove loins from brine and rinse. Let rest at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes while you prep the grill. Preheat the grill for indirect heat at 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Place loins on cooler side of the grill and cook, rotating every 20 to 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers read 130 to 135 degrees F (54 to 57 degrees C), 35 to 40 minutes.
• Paint loins with vegetable oil and move over the direct heat side of the grill. Sear until golden brown all over and internal temperature just reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove loins from heat, place on a serving dish, and tent with foil. Let rest for about 5 minutes. Slice into 1/2- to 1-inch-thick medallions.

GRILLED GARLIC BUTTER BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Set tenderloin out to come to room temperature about an hour before grilling.
• Trim any silver skin by running a sharp knife down the edge to remove the thin layer.
• Tuck the tapered end under and tie the roast or trim and reserve for another use. This will help the roast cook evenly.
• Prepare the garlic butter by adding butter and garlic to a small skillet. Cook over low heat until garlic starts to get brown and toasted. Stir in rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Remove from heat and whisk in brown sugar until melted. Set aside and cool slightly.
• Place tenderloin on a sheet pan and pour garlic butter over the meat. Spread the garlic and herbs evenly over the top of the roast.
• Prepare a grill fire with hickory for smoke flavor to about 350°.
• Cook tenderloin over indirect fire with the grill lid closed about 30 minutes. Check with a digital thermometer and continue to cook until desired doneness is reached about 45 minutes total for rare, about 1 hour for medium rare.
• Remove from grill to a cutting board and allow to rest about 15 minutes before serving.
• Slice and serve immediately.

GRILLED HANGER STEAKS WITH ROASTED GARLIC ROMESCO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the romesco sauce: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cut off the top of the garlic just to expose the tips of the cloves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap tightly in foil and roast until the cloves are golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes. Open the foil and allow the garlic to cool until cool enough to handle, then scoop the cloves out using a fork or knife or squeeze the whole head with your hand, turning it upside down to release the cloves into a small bowl.
• Puree the bread, roasted peppers, almonds, vinegar, dill, parsley, basil, anchovies, tomato and roasted garlic pulp in a blender on high speed, just blending enough so that there is still some texture to the sauce. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the hanger steaks: Preheat a grill on high heat.
• Combine the chile powder, garlic powder, pepper and seafood seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle the steaks on all sides with salt, then rub with the spice mixture. Grill the hanger steak on all sides, rotating so the char is even, about 10 minutes for an internal temperature of 125 degrees F or medium-rare. Allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes.
• Carve the steaks by cutting large pieces against the grain. Serve with a squeeze of lime and the romesco sauce.

GRILLED PEPPERED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH A MOREL, CABERNET, AND TOASTED GARLIC SAUCE, SERVED WITH WHIPPED YUKON GOLDS

Steps:

• For the mushroom sauce: In a skillet with oil, saute mushrooms until tender. Add garlic and allow to brown lightly. Deglaze the skillet with cabernet sauvignon and reduce by three-fourths. Add veal stock and reduce by half. Add thyme and finish with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• For the potatoes: Place potatoes in a stockpot with lukewarm water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and skim the foam off the top. Cook until tender. In a saucepot, heat cream and butter while potatoes are cooking. Drain water from potatoes and put through a sieve, add butter and cream and season with salt and pepper. Whip vigorously.
• Preheat the grill to medium high. Roll the fillet in salt and pepper. Massage meat with olive oil. Grill to desired degree of doneness, about 130 degrees F for medium when taken on an instant read thermometer.
