PEPPERED BEEF TENDERLOIN

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.

PINOT NOIR SAUCE

Steps:

• To make stock, heat oven to 450 degrees. Place bones in a medium roasting pan, and roast, turning once or twice, until deeply browned, about 2 hours. Add onions, celery, carrots, garlic and tomato paste, and roast, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are deep golden brown, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Transfer bones and vegetables to a 2-gallon stockpot. Place roasting pan on stove, add 2 cups water and deglaze over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits. Transfer deglazing liquid into stockpot with bones. Add thyme, bay leaf, parsley stems and 2 1/2 quarts water. Bring to a simmer over high heat, reduce heat to low and simmer until stock is rich and flavorful, about 5 hours. Remove from heat, and strain into a deep saucepan; there should be 8 cups stock. Place saucepan in sink of ice water to cool stock; then refrigerate until ready to use. (While stock is cold, scoop hardened fat from surface, and discard it.) Freeze half the stock to use later.
• To make sauce, heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and sauté carrot and celery, stirring constantly, until lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add thyme and pinot noir, bring to a simmer and simmer until reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes. Strain into a clean saucepan.
• Add 4 cups veal stock, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and simmer until sauce is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Increase heat to high, and add butter piece by piece, whisking to emulsify. Sauce will become glossy and coat back of a wooden spoon. As soon as butter is incorporated, remove sauce from heat, and spoon onto meat.
