Roast Lion Recipes

PERFECT BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Remove the meat from the fridge an hour before you plan to start cooking it.
• Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup) and fit it with a wire rack.
• Pat the beef dry with paper towels. If one end is thinner than the other, tuck it underneath and tie with butcher's twine to make sure the roast cooks evenly. You can also ask your butcher to tie it for you.
• Mix the olive oil and the spices, then use your clean hands to rub the beef all over with the mixture.
• Place the tenderloin on the wire rack. Insert a meat thermometer into its thickest part. Place it in the oven and roast it for 15 minutes in the 500°F oven.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Continue roasting until the meat thermometer registers 130 degrees F (medium-rare), about 20 more minutes.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Loosely cover it with foil and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
• Gently remove the butcher twine (you can cut it with kitchen scissors then gently pull it out of the meat), slice, and serve.

PORK LOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Line a 13"-x-9" pan with foil and place a wire rack on top.
• Roll the flap of the boneless loin into a cylinder and using kitchen twine, tie the pork loin every few inches. (This helps cook the pork more evenly.)
• In a small bowl, mix together garlic, mustard, rosemary, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Rub mixture all over pork loin and place in roasting pan fat-side down. Bake for 30 minutes, then carefully flip the loin and bake until a thermometer inserted into the middle of the meat reads 145°, about 20 minutes.
• Mix melted butter and brown sugar together, then brush on top of the pork loin. Broil for 2 minutes to let caramelize.
• Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/3" pieces. Serve pork warm with extra pan juices.

• Pat dry pork with paper towel. Combine 1 tablespoon of oil with rub ingredients. Season pork, rubbing the mixture into the meat.
• Heat remaining oil (about 2 teaspoons) in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Sear pork all over until golden browned, rotating the pork around to avoid spices burning.

• Mix 2 tablespoons of the juices with 4 teaspoons of cornstarch (cornflour). Whisk cornstach slurry into sauce and let simmer for a good 5 minutes, or until thickend into a syrup-like consistency. (For a thicker sauce, repeat this step with 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water. Add into sauce and cook until thickened (please note: sauce will thicken as it cools).

Baste again and roast for a further 10-15 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 145°F (62.5°C) in the thickest part(If pan dries out while cooking (it shouldn't), add a little more water.)
• Transfer pork onto serving plate and baste with pan juices. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10-15 minutes..
• Scrape up any browned bits leftover in the pan, mixing them through the pan juices and pour juices into a pot. Whisk in cornstarch/stock and water mixture and bring to a simmer. Slowly add in 1/4 cup water, whisk, then add a nother 1/4 cup if needed, until reaching a honey-like consistency. (Please note: sauce will thicken as it cools).

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Im a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
• Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juiced on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150°F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.).
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
• COOK'S NOTE: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160°F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
• Rinse meat well. Trim away some of the fat to remove the silvery cartilage underneath. With a very sharp knife, begin taking the fat off the top, revealing the silver cartilage underneath. You definitely don't want to take every last bit of fat off-not at all. As with any cut of meat, a little bit of fat adds to the flavor. (Hint: you can also ask the butcher to do this trimming for you if the process seems intimidating.)
• Sprinkle meat generously with Lawry's. You can much more liberally season a tenderloin, because you're having to pack more of a punch in order for the seasoning to make an impact. Start with Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Rub it in with your fingers. Sprinkle both sides generously with lemon & pepper seasoning. (There are no measurements because it depends on your taste, but be sure to season liberally.)
• Place the peppercorns in a Ziploc bag, and with a mallet or a hammer or a large, heavy can, begin smashing the peppercorns to break them up a bit. Set aside.
• Heat some olive oil in a heavy skillet. When the oil is to the smoking point, place the tenderloin in the very hot pan to sear it. Throw a couple of tablespoons of butter into the skillet to give it a nice little butter injection before going in the oven. A minute or two later, when one side is starting to turn nice and brown, flip and repeat.
• Place the tenderloin on an oven pan with a rack. Sprinkle the pummeled peppercorns all over the meat. Press the pepper onto the surface of the meat. Put several tablespoons of butter all over the meat. Stick the long needle of the thermometer lengthwise into the meat. Place it in a 475-degree oven until the temperature reaches just under 140 degrees, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stay near the oven and keep checking the meat thermometer to make sure it doesn't overcook.
• Let meat stand 10 minutes or so before slicing, so the meat will have a chance to relax a bit.
• To serve, you can spoon the olive oil/butter juices from the skillet onto the top of the meat for a little extra flavor.

PORK LOIN ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Take the roast out of the fridge and place the fat side up on a platter or parchment-lined work surface to come to room temperature.
• While the roast is coming to temperature, preheat the oven to 450°F.
• In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and paprika; mix to combine and set aside.
• When the roast has reached room temperature, score the skin and fat ¼-inch deep in a cross-hatch pattern at 1-inch intervals. This will allow the seasoning flavor to soak in while roasting.
• Generously season the pork with salt and pepper.
• Place your roast into a 5-quart or larger baking dish. Gently rub the herb mixture all over your pork loin. Cover the roast with a sheet of aluminum foil. Roast for an initial 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, prep and slice your carrots, celery, and potatoes, and place them in a bowl; toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• After the initial 20 minutes of roasting, lower the oven temperature to 350°F and remove the pork from the oven.
• Uncover and add the vegetables in the dish around the pork roast. Add an additional 1 tablespoon of olive oil sprinkled on top of the vegetables and pork.
• Continue to roast uncovered at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the pork roast registers an internal temp of 145°F and vegetables are tender. Use an instant read meat thermometer to check for doneness.
• Remove from the oven and re-cover with a piece of foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Remove pork roast from the baking dish and transfer to a cutting board; slice and serve with the vegetables.
