SPICE-RUBBED ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH RED WINE SAUCE (FINE COOKING) image

Categories     Beef     Bake

Yield 8-10 people

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the beef
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh thyme
1 Tbs. ground fennel seed
1/2 tsp. caraway seeds, coarsely ground
Kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
2 2-1/2-lb. beef butt tenderloins, trimmed
Tip: For a crowd serve two partial tenderloins-request butt tenderloins at the meat counter-instead of one whole one. This way, there are no thinner tail ends, and the roasts cook evenly.
For the sauce
2 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 Tbs. olive oil or canola oil
4 oz. cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced (1-3/4 cup)
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallot (1 medium)
1/4 tsp. granulated sugar
Kosher salt
3 large sprigs fresh thyme
1 tsp. cracked black peppercorns
1 750-ml bottle dry, hearty red wine,such as Shiraz or Zinfandel
2 cups lower-salt beef broth
1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, thyme, fennel, caraway, 1 Tbs. salt, and 1-1/2 tsp. pepper. Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels and coat them with the spice mixture, using your hands to spread it evenly; it will sparsely cover the meat. Make the sauce Melt 1 Tbs. of the butter and the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallot, sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring often, until soft and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the thyme, peppercorns, and half of the wine. Simmer briskly until the wine reduces and just covers the solids, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the remaining wine and reduce again until the wine just covers the solids, 10 to 12 minutes more. Add the beef broth and simmer until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve set over a 1-quart measuring cup, pressing lightly on the solids. If you have more than 1-1/2 cups liquid, return the sauce to the pan and simmer until reduced to 1-1/2 cups Melt the remaining 1 Tbs. butter in a 1-quart saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking often, until smooth and light beige in color, about 1 minute. Slowly add the wine reduction, whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking often, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Roast the beef Remove the beef from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about an hour before roasting. Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Arrange the roasts on a flat rack on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 120°F for rare , 125°F to 130°F for medium rare, or 135°F for medium, 40 to 50 minutes.

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm not sure I have the skills to pull it off. I'll have to leave it to the professionals.

This recipe is not for beginners. The tenderloin is difficult to cook properly and the sauce is complicated to make. I would not recommend it unless you are an experienced cook.

I would not recommend this recipe. The tenderloin was overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The tenderloin was dry and tasteless and the sauce was watery.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but the tenderloin was tough and the sauce was too acidic. I won't be making this dish again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the rub and the sauce and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tenderloin came out a bit overcooked. The sauce was good, though. I'll try again with a lower cooking temperature.
