Coffee Encrusted Beef Fillet Recipes

Steps:

• Fold over thin end of meat and tie with string every inch or so along the length of the tenderloin.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine ingredients for the rub in a medium baking pan. Place meat inside pan and rub meat generously with the spice mixture. Let meat sit 15 minutes and repeat rub. Place meat on a rack in a roasting pan in preheated oven. Do not baste or cover meat.
• Immediately turn oven down to 400 degrees F.
• Roast until an instant-read thermometer stuck in the thickest portion of the meat registers 130 degrees F for rare to 145 degrees F for medium. Remove from oven and let meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sage leaves,if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Mix, well, all the spices with the ground coffee beans.
• 2. Apply a light coat of EVOO over the entire fillet.
• 3. Coat the fillet with the dry rub. You may not use all the rub. I prefer a light coat over the entire fillet. If you're concerned that you may not like the taste of the ground coffee beans in the rub, prepare one fillet with this rub and just use EVOO, Kosher Salt and Cracked Black Pepper on the other so as to compare. The other spices really do balance the ground coffee beans.
• 4. Let the rub stay on the fillets for at least a couple hours and make sure the fillets are at room temp before you start to cook/grille.
• 5. Heat the grille to 450 - 500 degrees while the skillet is getting hot. I heat an old cast iron skillet, in the oven, to 500 degrees. Next, I transfer that skillet to the side burner on my grille. You can transfer the skillet to your cooktop but this will produce smoke when the cooking starts.
• 6. I drop 1-TBSP of butter in the skillet and then drop both fillets in the skillet. Move the fillets around at first to keep them from sticking. Cook them 3 minutes with out turning.
• 7. Drop in 1-TBSP of butter and turn the fillets, cooking 3 additional minutes. After the three minutes are up, I transfer the fillets to the 450 degree grille. Or, you can transfer back to your oven at 450 degrees if you prefer. I cook the fillets for six additional minutes (without turning). This gives me a nice med-rare. If you prefer your fillet medium, grille for 10 minutes instead of six. Adjust cooking time for your preference.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. In small bowl, mix coffee granules, pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle evenly over all sides of beef.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 3 minutes. Turn beef; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until very dark brown. Place beef in 9-inch square pan (or deep-dish pie pan). Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of beef.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until thermometer reads 140°F. Remove from oven. Let stand 5 minutes. Wrap in foil; refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mustard, mayonnaise and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover; refrigerate Dijon cream until serving time.
• To serve, cut beef into 12 thin slices; cut each slice in half. Place 1 lettuce piece on each bread slice; top each with beef slice and heaping teaspoon Dijon cream. Garnish with parsley sprigs.

Steps:

• Let beef sit on counter 1 hour before roasting.
• Preheat oven to 500.
• Cut slits in beef and insert 2 cloves of garlic. Fold over thin end of meat and tie with string.
• In a bowl, combine ground coffee beans, sugar, chili powder, sage, garlic powder onion, powder,and cayenne.
• Rub meat generously with 1/2 of rub and sit for 15 minutes. Repeat process.
• Place meat on rack in roasting pan, put onions and remaining garlic around meat. Do not cover.
• Turn oven down to 400. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes or internal temp is 130 rare; 145 medium.
• Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• In medium saucepan combine broth, Worcestershire sauce, coffee crystals, garlic powder, and seasoned salt and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer.
• Dissolve cornstarch in water and whisk into broth mixture. Cook til thickened.
• Whisk in butter 1 chunk at a time. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place all the liquid and dry ingredients into a large bowl or zip-lock bag and mix until dissolved.
• (HINT: Measure the olive oil first and then the molasses, it will slide right out of the measuring cup if you do the oil first).
• Add ice to cool the mixture.
• Add the filets and marinate at least 6 hours for best results. I like to mix them up and flip the meat every couple of hours, but not required.
• When ready to cook the steaks, heat an iron skillet or griddle as hot as you can get it and sear the outside of the steaks for a minute or two until dark and crisp on the outside, then place on the grill to cook to your wellness liking the rest of the time.
• (HINT: I recommend searing the steaks outside on a grill side burner if possible. It makes a mess of your cooktop inside otherwise.).

Steps:

• Seed, stem and cut the chilies into pieces. Tear the tortilla into pieces. Set both aside. In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chilies and tortilla and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil and then simmer, partly covered, for 10 minutes. In a blender, purée the hot mixture until smooth. Pour through a fine sieve set over a saucepan, pressing on the solids. Discard the solids. Whisk in the cream, 1 teaspoon salt and the brown sugar. Season to taste.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together the coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. Pat the beef dry and rub with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper; then rub with oil. Sprinkle the coffee mixture over a sheet of wax paper and coat the beef in it. Place the beef on a rack set in a roasting pan and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Roast the beef for 10 minutes; then lower the temperature to 250 and cook for an hour more, or until the meat reaches 130 degrees. Let stand, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. (The meat will continue to cook, reaching about 135 degrees.)
• Bring the broth to a boil and simmer until just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Cover and keep warm.
• In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the twine and cut the beef into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spoon just enough broth to cover the bottoms of 4 to 6 shallow, wide soup bowls. Add 2 to 3 slices of beef, spoon more broth over the beef if desired and top with mushrooms and watercress.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, brown roast in oil on all sides. Remove and set aside. Add onion to the pan; saute until tender. Add garlic and seasonings; cook 1 minute longer., Add the coffee, 3/4 cup water and stock; return roast to pan. Bring to a boil. Cover and bake at 325° for 2-1/4 to 2-3/4 hours or until meat is tender., Remove beef to a serving platter; keep warm. Combine flour and remaining water until smooth. Stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened., Set aside 2 cups shredded cooked Coffee Roast Beef for Mini Beef Chimichangas and 1/2 pound cooked cubed beef for Spinach Beef Stew. Slice remaining roast and serve with gravy.
