Steps:
- For the beef: Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a mortar and pestle, or spice grinder, finely grind the cumin seeds and coriander seeds. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the spices and cook for a few seconds until aromatic and toasted. Put the spices in a small bowl. Chop the garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Holding a chef's knife at a 45 degrees angle, scrape the garlic and salt together to form a paste. Add the garlic paste to the bowl with the spices. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, black pepper, and oil and stir until smooth. Put the meat on the prepared baking sheet and rub with the spice mixture. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 125 degrees F, for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and transfer the meat to a cutting board. Cover the meat loosely with foil and let rest for 20 minutes.
- For the mayonnaise: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mascarpone cheese, basil, curry powder, and paprika until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- To serve: Slice the meat into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange on a platter. Spoon the mayonnaise mixture into a small serving bowl and serve alongside the sliced meat.
GRILLED MARINATED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH PEPERONATA
Steps:
- Combine marinade ingredients and marinate beef for 2 to 4 hours refrigerated. Grill for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
- Garnish beef with peppers.
- Combine ingredients for peperonata and toss with the peppers. Marinate for 1 hour. Grill peppers for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Do not overcook.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is deep red in color, with little to no marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Sear the steak properly: Searing the steak creates a flavorful crust and helps to lock in the juices. Be sure to sear the steak over high heat for a short amount of time, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a meat thermometer: Cooking the steak to the proper internal temperature is essential for achieving the desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak, and remove it from the heat when it reaches your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Make the smoked paprika mayonnaise ahead of time: The smoked paprika mayonnaise can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the steak.
Conclusion:
Beef tenderloin with smoked paprika mayonnaise is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the smoked paprika mayonnaise adds a delicious smoky flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
