Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, diced
2/3 cup dry sherry wine
1/4 cup dried dates, pitted and chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
One 2- to 3-pound center-cut beef tenderloin, trimmed and butterflied (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup Marcona almonds, crushed
2 tablespoons minced chives
Store-bought horseradish sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter, add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sherry, dates, cranberries, thyme and sage and simmer until just dry, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Season the inside of the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Spread an even layer of the fruit and herb mixture over it, leaving about 1/2 inch of tenderloin around the edges. Top with a layer of the almonds. Roll tightly and tie with at least 4 pieces of butcher's twine (easier to cut and portion!).
  • Place the loin on a wire-racked baking sheet and season the outside with salt and pepper. Cook until the center of the tenderloin registers 120 to 125 degrees F, about 2 hours.
  • In a large skillet, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat until just foaming. Place the loin in the skillet and sear on all sides until evenly crusty and brown, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with minced chives and serve with horseradish sauce.

  • 2. FOR THE BEEF; You will double butterfly the roast. Cutting 1/3 down from the top on the right side of meat,make a slit lengthwise down side of tenderloin, cutting 2/3 of the way through meat. Then, flip the meat over, and do it again. You basically are cutting it open like an envelope. See the pictures for a guide. It is easy just make sure your knife is nice and sharp.
  • 3. Place butterflied beef on saran wrap top and bottom. Use a meat tenderizer or rolling pin, and pound the meat to 1/2 inch thickness. Turn loin over occasionally.

Arrange the roast in a roasting pan seam side down. Pour off all but film of fat from skillet and reserve the skillet. (again, dont wash it) Drape bacon over meat. Roast until thermometer inserted horizontally through end of roast into meat registers 130 degrees. (for rare) About 35 minutes. If you like it less rare, roast for 40-45 minutes.

For beef
1 (3-pound) trimmed and tied beef tenderloin at room temperature
2 oz thinly sliced pancetta (Italian unsmoked cured bacon), cut into 1/3-inch pieces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Roast beef:

Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until just smoking, then brown beef on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer beef to a small roasting pan, reserving skillet.
  • Roast beef in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center registers 120°F, about 25 minutes.

Add red wine and Marsala and deglaze skillet by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until liquid is reduced by about one third.
