Steps:

  • For beef:
  • Sprinkle entire surface of beef tenderloin with coarse kosher salt. Place beef on rack set over large rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate uncovered at least 24 hours and up to 36 hours.
  • For sauce:
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallots; sauté until soft, 3 minutes. Add Cognac, rosemary, and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper and cook until liquid evaporates, 1 minute. Add Port; bring to simmer. Add all of beef stock. Boil until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 20 minutes. Strain into medium saucepan, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids in strainer. DO AHEAD: Can be made 24 to 36 hours ahead. Cool slightly, then cover and chill.
  • For roasting:
  • Let beef stand at room temperature 1 hour before roasting. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Rub beef all over with oil; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cracked peppercorns, pressing to adhere. Return beef to rack on baking sheet and roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 125°F for medium-rare (135°F to 140°F in thinnest part), about 30 minutes. Remove roast from oven and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Bring sauce to boil; whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cut off string from roast. Cut roast crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; arrange on platter. Serve with sauce.
  • WHAT TO DRINK:
  • Chateau Coufran 2003 (France, $23). The leathery, earthy notes and subtle fruit in this medium-bodied Bordeaux are perfect for the tenderloin.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Beef Tenderloin With Gorgonzola Sauce image

This is my mom's recipe that she's been making for special occasions for as long as I can remember. These directions will produce meat that is medium-rare in the very center of the tenderloin. If you want your meat more well done, add on 10 minutes and check it by cutting a small nick in the center of the meat - keep repeating until the meat is done to your liking.

Tips:

  • To ensure the beef tenderloin is cooked evenly, bring it to room temperature before searing.
  • Sear the beef tenderloin in a hot skillet until it is browned on all sides. This will help to lock in the juices and flavor.

  • Let the beef tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • To make the cherry port sauce, combine cherries, port wine, beef broth, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • To assemble the dish, place a slice of beef tenderloin on a plate and top with cherry port sauce and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
