Best 4 Kathy Bakers Beef Tender Recipes

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• A half-hour before cooking, remove the medallions from refrigerator.
• Sauce: Put the shallots, garlic, vinegar, and all the herbs in a food processor and pulse until herbs are minced, with the motor running slowly drizzle in the olive oil until you have a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper and the sauce is ready to serve.
• Prepare a grill or a stove top grill pan with a medium-high heat fire.
• Brush meat lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place medallions on the grill and cook, without moving, until nice grill marks appear, about 4 minutes. Turn the medallions and continue to grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the medallions sideways registers about 120 degrees F, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Set aside on a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Divide medallions among plates and drizzle with some of the sauce. Serve. Pass the remaining sauce at the table.

KATHY BAKER'S BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Prepare a heavy baking dish that is as close to the size of the beef tenderloin as possible by making an aluminum foil "basket" for it to sit inches It is very important to use heavy duty aluminum foil. Place 2 or 3 pieces of foil in the dish and put the beef tenderloin on top of it, leaving enough hanging over the edges of the dish to really wrap up the meat.
• Rub the garlic over the entire tenderloin and season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the butter pieces evenly over the beef. Drizzle with Worcestershire and lime juice let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
• Adjust the oven rack to the highest position and preheat the broiler. Place the pan right underneath the broiler and broil for about 8 minutes. (It will look like the flames are burning or touching the meat, but that is fine). Carefully pull the pan out and turn the meat over. Broil for another 5 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness. (When the meat is done under the flame it will look like it is burned, but it's not). Wrap it up very tightly in the foil and let it sit and continue to cook inside the foil on the kitchen counter for about another 1 1/2 hours.
• Whisk together the sour cream and horseradish and season with salt and pepper. Slice the meat and serve with sour cream mixture on the side.

KATHY'S BEEF TIPS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°F (low). In a large saute pan or skillet melt butter and heat oil. sear the meat with the garlic. Remove meat to a casserole and cover.
• To the same skillet, add the wine and saute' the mushrooms and onion for 1 minute, then add to the meat. Cover and bake for 1 hour or until the meat is tender.
• Meanwhile, add the broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire to the pan in which the meat was seared. Bring to a boil and de-glaze the pan. Blend together the mustard, cornstarch and cream then add to the pan. Simmer until reduced and thickened.
• When beef is done, pour off the juices into the sauce and boil, whisking until smooth. Add meat and stir to coat.
• To serve, plate up either buttered egg noodles or rice and pour beef tips over top. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a cooking rack inside a baking dish and spray both with cooking spray.
• Combine flour, garlic powder, and pepper in a flat dish; stir until evenly combined. Stir mustard, honey, egg substitute, and hot sauce together in a small bowl.
• Combine cornflake crumbs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion flakes, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper in another flat dish; stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Dip chicken tenders into the flour mixture until coated evenly, then dip into the egg mixture, shaking off any excess liquid. Drag the chicken through the bread crumb mixture, covering evenly.
• Place chicken on the prepared cooking rack. Spray the chicken with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
