SEARED BEEF TENDERLOIN FILET WITH BéARNAISE SAUCE RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• PREHEAT oven to 425 degrees with a rack in the center. TRIM tenderloin and cut into 6-8oz filets; season each filet with salt and pepper. Heat an ovenproof sauté pan over medium high heat for 5 minutes. SEAR filets in oil on one side for 4-5 minutes. Turn them over, place the pan in the oven, and roast to desired doneness: (RARE SEAR 5 MINUTES, ROAST 5 MINUTES REST 5 MINUTES,) (MEDIUM RARE: SEAR 5 MINUTES, ROAST 7 MINUTES, REST 5 MINUTES) (MEDIUM: SEAR 5 MINUTES, ROAST 9 MINUTES, REST5 MINUTES). Remove pan from the oven, transfer filets to a plate, tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes before serving. SERVE with Béarnaise sauce. Béarnaise SAUCE: BRING vinegar, wine, shallots and tarragon to a boil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Boil until most of the liquid evaporates , about 5 minutes. OFF heat, add water then whisk in egg yolks until frothy. GRADUALLY drizzle in butter, whisking constantly to incorporate. Sauce should be thick, but thin it with a little water if needed. If it is too thin, return it to low heat and whisk constantly until thickened. STRAIN sauce through a medium mesh strainer into a heatproof cup. Season with lemon juice, salt, white pepper, and cayenne. Serve immediately.

FILET MIGNON WITH BLENDER BEARNAISE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Take the beef tenderloin and drizzle with olive oil. Season well all over with plenty of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper all over. Make sure it is at room temperature before cooking. Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top and sear tenderloin all over. Place the whole pan in the oven and roast the tenderloin for 15-17 minutes (depending on how thick your tenderloin is). An internal thermometer when inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 130 degrees F for medium-rare. If you want it medium, cook for a further 3 minutes in the oven. Remove from the oven and tent with foil while you let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
• Make the bearnaise reduction first. In a small saucepan, combine half of the tarragon, shallots, vinegar and wine over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Blend yolks and bearnaise reduction together. With the blender running, add one third of the butter in a slow steady stream. Once it emulsifies, turn the blender speed up to high and add the remaining butter. Add the remaining half bunch of fresh tarragon, season with salt and pepper and give it one more buzz. Set aside in a warm spot to hold the sauce.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CITRUS BéARNAISE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place beef, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. (For easy cleanup, line the roasting pan with aluminum foil before placing beef on rack.) Insert meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef.
• Roast uncovered 30 to 40 minutes or until thermometer reads 140°F. Beef will continue to cook after being removed from oven. Cover beef loosely with tent of aluminum foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until temperature rises to 145°F.
• While beef is standing, stir together wine, tarragon and vinegar in 1-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture is slightly reduced. Reduce heat to very low. Stir in egg yolks one at a time with wire whisk until well blended. Cook and stir with wire whisk 2 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken. Stir in orange juice and melted butter with wire whisk until smooth. Serve warm over tenderloin.

STEAK WITH BERNAISE

Steps:

• For the sauce, put the Champagne vinegar, white wine, shallots, 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is reduced to a few tablespoons. Cool slightly.
• Place the cooled mixture with the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon salt in the jar of a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With blender on, slowly pour the hot butter through the opening in the lid. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon leaves and blend only for a second. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of white wine to thin. Keep at room temperature until serving.
• Season the steaks liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper on both sides. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it's almost smoking, then sear the steaks on each side for 1 minute. Lower the heat to low and cook the steaks for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until very rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve with the bernaise sauce on the side.
• Note: To make the sauce in advance, prepare an hour before serving and allow it to sit in the blender. Before serving, add 1 tablespoon of the hottest tap water and blend for a few seconds.
