BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH QUICK RED WINE PAN SAUCE



Beef Tenderloin with Quick Red Wine Pan Sauce image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 3- to 5-pound beef tenderloin, trimmed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 cloves garlic, crushed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 medium shallot, minced
1 cup red wine
2 cups beef stock
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking.
  • On the tail end of the tenderloin, about a third of the way from where it begins to taper, make an incision almost all the way through the beef. Fold the tail onto the larger portion to make an even cylinder throughout. Use ten to twelve 8-inch pieces of butcher's twine to tie the tenderloin crosswise every 3/4 to 1 inch. This will help it to keep its shape and cook evenly.
  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
  • Pat the tenderloin dry. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season heavily with salt and pepper all around. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the beef and sear on all sides until a nice crust is formed, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add the thyme, garlic and 3 tablespoons of the butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, use a spoon to baste the beef with the herb and garlic infused butter for 30 seconds.
  • Transfer the beef to a rack on a baking sheet, spoon over 2 tablespoons of the herb and garlic butter mixture from the cast-iron pan (reserve the pan) and roast until the internal temperature of the thickest part reaches 120 degrees F (for medium rare), 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the tenderloin. Cover the beef with foil and rest for 15 minutes.
  • Add the shallots to the remaining herb and garlic butter mixture in the cast-iron pan and sweat over medium heat until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine and reduce until almost dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the beef stock, bring to a simmer and reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, thoroughly mix the remaining 2 tablespoons butter with the flour in a small bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the butter and flour mixture bit by bit, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Serve with the perfectly roasted beef.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE



Pan-Seared Steak With Red Wine Sauce image

You can use any cut of steak, either bone-in or boneless, to make this classic French bistro dish. Steaks cut from the tenderloin, such as filet mignon, are the most tender pieces of beef, though they lack the assertively beefy chew of sirloins and rib steaks. Adding brandy to the pan sauce not only contributes flavor; its high alcohol content and acidity help extract flavor from the pan drippings. However, if setting it on fire makes you nervous, skip that step and let the brandy simmer down for an extra few minutes to cook off most of the alcohol. Make sure to open a good bottle of red wine to use in the sauce here, preferably one that you're happy to finish off with dinner. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt, as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
1 1/2 pounds boneless steak, or 1 3/4 pounds bone-in steak (1 1/2 inches thick)
2 shallots
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed
2 tablespoons good brandy, preferably Cognac
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup beef or chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Watercress, for serving

Steps:

  • Generously sprinkle salt and pepper all over steaks, then let steaks rest uncovered for 15 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, mince the shallots.
  • Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add steaks and cook until done to taste, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare and a little longer for medium-rare or medium. (Bone-in steaks take a few minutes longer to cook through than boneless.) If the pan begins to smoke or burn, lower the heat. Transfer steaks to a plate to rest while you prepare the sauce.
  • Add shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add brandy to the skillet and use a long-handled match or igniter to set the brandy on fire. (Stand back when you do this.) Let flames die out, then add red wine and cook until reduced and syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add stock and boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
  • Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the chives. Serve steaks and sauce immediately with watercress.

BEEF FILLET WITH RED WINE SAUCE



Beef fillet with red wine sauce image

Luxuriously tender meat, soaked in a herby, garlicky marinade makes for a mouthwatering main course, fit for a feast

Provided by Marcus Wareing

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1.3kg well-aged beef fillet
50ml vegetable oil
100g unsalted butter , cubed
200ml olive oil
½ small pack thyme , leaves picked and roughly chopped
3 rosemary sprigs, leaves picked and roughly chopped
1 whole garlic bulb , top third cut off and discarded
250ml port
500ml red wine
1 tbsp vegetable oil
140g beef scraps (ask your butcher for these) or braising steak, chopped
4 shallots , sliced
2 garlic cloves , bashed
12 white peppercorns
¼ small pack thyme
1 bay leaf
1l beef stock

Steps:

  • Put the beef in a container just big enough to fit snugly. Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl and tip over the beef. Cover and chill, turning and basting as often as possible. Leave for 24-72 hrs.
  • Pour the Port and wine into a large pan and simmer until reduced to a glaze. - this will take about 20 mins. Heat the oil in a separate large pan and, when almost smoking, add the beef scraps and cook until dark golden. Add the shallots, garlic, peppercorns and herbs. Fry for a few mins until starting to brown, then add the reduced alcohol and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 mins. Strain into a clean pan, then simmer for 8-10 mins until thickened. Season to taste and chill until needed.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the fillet from the marinade and brush off the herbs, reserving them and the garlic for later. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan. When almost smoking, add the fillet, season with 2 tsp salt and fry for 5-7 mins, turning every so often.
  • Add the butter, cube by cube, and - when foaming - baste the fillet, turning regularly. When the fillet is caramelised, put in a roasting tin with the reserved herbs and garlic, and cook in the oven for 8-12 mins, turning every 4 mins and basting. To check that the beef is done, insert a probe thermometer into the centre - it should read 55-60C for medium rare. Transfer to a board, wrap loosely in foil and rest for 20 mins.
  • Return the tin to the oven until the butter is hot. Before serving, roll the fillet in it. Serve with the sauce, croquettes, carrots and garlic.
