Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
½ cup olive oil
2 pounds pork tenderloin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Mix bread crumbs and olive oil in bowl to reach consistency that would be moist enough to stick to the meat when pressed. Place pork on a shallow cooking sheet. Press the crumb mixture onto all sides of the meat until there is no pink showing, usually 1/4 inch thick.
  • Bake for at least 35 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) or until there is no pink when the pork is cut. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes, then cut into 1/2 inch slices.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
¾ cup finely chopped shallots, from 2-3 large shallots
1¼ cups red wine
3 cups beef broth
6 fresh thyme sprigs
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (2 - 3 lb) center-cut beef tenderloin roast
Kosher salt (½ teaspoon per pound of beef)
Freshly ground black pepper (¼ teaspoon per pound of beef)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup beef broth

Steps:

  • Melt 5 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
  • While the liquid is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and soften in the microwave, if necessary (it should be soft but not melted). Add the flour and, using a small spoon, mix into a smooth paste.
  • Once the wine mixture is reduced, reduce the heat to low and remove the thyme sprigs. Whisk the flour-butter paste, a teaspoonful at a time, into the simmering liquid, and simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Set aside. (The sauce can be made up to this point and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead of time.)
  • Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Season the beef all over with kosher salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Cook, turning with tongs, until well browned on all but one side, about 10 minutes total. Turn the tenderloin so that the un-seared side is down, and transfer the skillet directly to the preheated oven. (If your pan isn't oven-proof, transfer the beef to a lightly oiled roasting pan.) Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 120°F-125° for medium rare, about 15 minutes, or until done to your liking (115°F-120°F for rare, 130°F-135°F for medium). Keep in mind that these temperatures account for the fact that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees while the meat rests.
  • Transfer the meat to a carving board (preferably with a well for collecting juices) and let it rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Place a dishtowel or oven mitt over the handle of the roasting pan to remind yourself that it's hot.
  • Meanwhile, carefully discard the fat from the roasting pan (remember that the handle is hot!). Set the pan on the stovetop and add the ¼ cup of beef broth. Bring the broth to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape the fond, or brown bits, from the bottom of the pan. Add the flavorful broth to the red wine sauce, and then bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • Carve the tenderloin into ⅓-inch-thick slices. Serve the beef, passing the red wine sauce at the table.

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN



Roast Beef Tenderloin image

One secret of this beef tenderloin is the slow oven, which allows for a gentle roasting, and produces an even, rosy hue throughout the muscle. The other trick is roasting the beef on top of the pan sauce, which not only flavors the meat, but also humidifies the oven for a moist, aromatic cooking environment.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 2h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅓ cup dried porcini mushrooms
1 cup warm water
2 ½ pounds trimmed beef tenderloin roast, tied
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup sliced shallots
1 pinch salt
¼ cup tarragon vinegar
1 cup veal stock
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine porcini mushrooms and water in a bowl; soak until soft, 1 hour. Drain and reserve liquid. Dice and set mushrooms and reserved liquid aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Place beef in the skillet; cook until brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 tablespoon butter, shallots, and a pinch of salt; cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Pour tarragon vinegar into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits off of the bottom. Stir until liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour in veal stock, cream, 1/2 cup reserved mushroom liquid, mushrooms, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Return beef to the skillet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until meat is medium rare, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer meat to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Set skillet over high heat and bring pan juices to a boil.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and tarragon; season with salt and pepper to taste. Return tenderloin and any accumulated juices to skillet and serve.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect medium-rare doneness, cook the tenderloin roast for 20-25 minutes per pound at 400°F (200°C) or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate temperature reading and prevent overcooking.
  • Searing the tenderloin roast before roasting creates a flavorful crust and locks in the juices.

  • Consider serving the tenderloin roast with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
