BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB SALT CRUST



Beef Tenderloin with Herb Salt Crust image

Salt dough is distantly related to huff paste, a concoction of salt, flour, and water used to protect meat from the heat of an open spit; herbs and garlic infuse this wrapped tenderloin with incredible flavor while it cooks. When finished, the salt crust will be discarded.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons coarse salt
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
2 large eggs, separated
2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 piece (about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and 2 to 3 pounds) beef tenderloin, tied, room temperature
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
10 fresh sage, leaves
2 dried bay leaves
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
6 cloves garlic thinly, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 2 cups salt with 3 tablespoons thyme and 3 tablespoons rosemary. Add egg whites and 2/3 cup water; mix until thoroughly combined. A little at a time, add up to 2 cups flour, beating on medium speed, until mixture forms a firm, homogenous dough, 2 to 3 minutes. The dough should be firm but not too moist or sticky. If necessary, knead in additional flour or water. Form dough into a square; wrap in plastic. Let rest at room temperature at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse tenderloin, and pat dry. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, add beef. Sear well on all sides, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer tenderloin to a wire rack set over a baking pan to cool, 5 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to an approximately 10-by-15-inch rectangle (rectangle should be large enough to completely encase tenderloin). Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup thyme, 1/4 cup rosemary, the sage, bay leaves, parsley, and garlic over dough. Remove twine from tenderloin, and place it in the center of the dough. Roll dough around beef, completely encasing it. Press edges together to seal. Carefully transfer wrapped beef to a roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix egg yolks with 2 teaspoons water; brush entire surface of dough with egg wash. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons salt over the top.
  • Place baking pan in center of oven. Roast until crust is light golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 125 degrees to 130 degrees (for medium-rare), allowing 10 to 12 minutes per pound. Remove pan from oven; let rest at room temperature 1 hour.
  • When ready to serve, slice off the crust at one end, and remove beef; discard crust. Season beef with pepper, slice, and serve.

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Potato Flan, recipe follows
1 cup Red Onion Marmalade, recipe follows
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons minced garlic
9 Yukon Gold potatoes, very thinly sliced (about 3 pounds)
1/2 pound gruyere, grated
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup ruby port
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Tie the beef with butcher's string and rub with the olive oil. Combine the rosemary, parsley, thyme, and garlic and pat the mixture on the beef. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
  • Over high heat sear the beef in an ovenproof skillet, turning to brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the skillet directly into the oven and roast the beef for 20 to 25 minutes. Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before removing the string and slicing.

Lay the potatoes in overlapping rows to cover the bottom of the parchment paper. Sprinkle with some of the cheese and garlic. Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes, cheese and garlic have been used.
  • Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Press down on the potatoes to distribute the egg mixture. Cover the dish with parchment paper and bake for 1 1/2 hours. (Remove the parchment paper from the top for the last 20 minutes to brown the top).
  • Allow the flan to rest for at least 15 minutes before turning out of the pan and cutting into serving sizes. This dish is best made a day ahead, then portioned and reheated in 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a medium pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the onions, and cook for 7 minutes until soft, stirring frequently. Stir in the sugar and salt, and cook for a further 7 minutes. Add the port and vinegar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the thyme.
