Braised Mock Tenderloins In Red Wine Sauce Recipe 395

Steps:

• 1. Pat steaks dry and season with a bit of salt and pepper on each side. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown steaks, about 3 minutes on each side. 2. Remove steaks from pan and place on a plate to rest. Add carrots, onion, and garlic. Sauté, stirring constantly, until onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes. 3. Add red wine to pan and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add stock, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and then add steaks back to pan, nestling them into the carrots and onions. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very low simmer. Cover the pan and let it simmer about 2 hours, until beef is tender. 4. Remove steaks and place on a plate to rest. Discard bay leaf and thyme stem (if fresh thyme was used). Turn heat up to medium and bring liquid to a high simmer, almost boil. Meanwhile mix the corn starch and water together. Add cornstarch mixture to pan, stirring until thickened.

Steps:

• Rinse beef shoulder to remove any unwanted residue, pat dry with paper toweling, and place on a utility platter. In a small bowl, make the rub for the beef by combining Smokey Rotisserie Seasoning and Garlic Pepper. Rub the seasonings into all surfaces of the beef, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and set aside for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours at room temperature. (The seasonings will actually begin to "cure" the meat.)
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In an ovenproof skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat, and sear all sides of beef. Cover pan (with lid or foil) and transfer to oven to finish cooking, bringing to an internal temperature of 115 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes.
• While the beef is in the oven, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat and cook the onions until they are translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they soften and begin to give up their juices. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Remove beef from oven and let rest to carryover cook to an internal temperature of 132 degrees F for medium-rare, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice beef into steaks, and transfer to serving dish. Top with onion and mushrooms.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. If necessary, trim fat from beef. Turn small end of beef under about 6 inches. Tie turned-under portion with string at about 1 1/2-inch intervals. Place in shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and cracked black pepper. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef.
• For medium-rare, roast uncovered 30 to 40 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 15 to 20 minutes until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F, and beef will be easier to carve.) For medium, roast uncovered 40 to 50 minutes or until thermometer reads 150°F. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 15 to 20 minutes until thermometer reads 160°F.
• Meanwhile, in 8-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook about 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add wine; cook about 4 minutes until reduced slightly. Stir in broth. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook about 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1 cup. Beat in remaining 4 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, with wire whisk. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Remove string from beef before carving. Serve sauce with beef.
