PEPPERED BEEF TENDERLOIN



Peppered Beef Tenderloin image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons mixed peppercorns (black, white, green, pink)
1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, plus additional parsley for garnish
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt
2 1/2 pounds center-cut beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied if uneven
Savory Horseradish Panna Cotta, recipe follows, optional
Cooking spray
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
Kosher salt
1 3/4 cups half-and-half
2 teaspoons gelatin (from a .25-ounce package)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Coarsely grind the peppercorns in a spice or coffee grinder and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the parsley, mustard, butter and 1 tablespoon salt in a medium bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined. Rub the spiced butter all over the tenderloin, rolling the beef in the portions that fall off to coat completely. The beef can be prepared up to this point, covered, and refrigerated up to 1 day in advance.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the beef on a rack and set over a baking sheet. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 130 degrees F for medium rare, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer the beef to a cutting board, preferably a meat board with a reservoir to catch the juices, and garnish with the parsley.
  • Spray six 4- to 6-ounce ramekins with cooking spray. Stir together the sour cream, Dijon, horseradish and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Heat the half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it just barely comes to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, put the gelatin in a large bowl, add 3 tablespoons warm water and stir until completely dissolved. Gradually pour in the warm half-and-half while whisking constantly.
  • Add a splash of the half-and-half mixture to the sour cream mixture and stir to loosen, then add the sour cream mixture to the large bowl with the half-and-half mixture, whisking gently until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the ramekins (the ramekins will not be full) and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours. The panna cottas can be kept refrigerated, covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days
  • When ready to serve, run a thin knife along the edge of each ramekin and invert the pana cottas onto plates. Sprinkle with the chives and serve immediately.

Peppered Beef Tenderloin Roast image

A pepper rub gives this moist, tender beef a bit of a zippy taste. It takes just minutes to prepare, and the meat slices well. Lining the baking pan with foil makes it a breeze to clean up, too. -Denise Bitner, Reedsville, Pennsylvania

2 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon dill seeds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the grill
1 beef tenderloin (4 to 4 1/2 pounds)

1 cup lager
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons roughly chopped fresh thyme
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Tips:

  • Tenderize the beef: Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to gently pound the beef tenderloin until it is about 1/2-inch thick. This will help to break down the fibers and make the meat more tender.
  • Use a good quality steak seasoning: A good steak seasoning will help to enhance the flavor of the beef. Look for a seasoning that contains a blend of herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, paprika, and black pepper.
  • Sear the beef in a hot skillet: Searing the beef in a hot skillet will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Cook the beef to your desired doneness: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the beef and your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the beef for about 6-8 minutes per side. For medium, cook the beef for about 8-10 minutes per side. For medium-well, cook the beef for about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Let the beef rest before slicing: Let the beef rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Peppered beef tenderloin with merlot is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The beef is tender and juicy, with a flavorful crust that is complemented by the rich and savory merlot sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to show off your culinary skills.
