Peppercorn Crusted Beef Tenderloin Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475 degrees.
• Let tenderloin rest at room temperature 1 hour. Pat meat with paper towels to dry, then lightly coat all over with oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and ground peppercorns, gently pressing to help them adhere.
• Set a cast-iron griddle or large roasting pan over two burners and heat over high until hot. Carefully rub griddle lightly with oil. (If using a roasting pan, add enough oil to barely coat the bottom of the pan.) Heat until hot but not smoking, then place the tenderloin on the griddle and sear on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Use tongs to transfer beef to a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 20 to 30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
• Transfer tenderloin to a carving board and slice to desired thickness (about 1/2 inch is a nice size) before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Tie the beef with butcher's string and rub with the olive oil. Combine the rosemary, parsley, thyme, and garlic and pat the mixture on the beef. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
• Over high heat sear the beef in an ovenproof skillet, turning to brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the skillet directly into the oven and roast the beef for 20 to 25 minutes. Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before removing the string and slicing.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Rub the parchment paper with butter and a little bit of the garlic. Lay the potatoes in overlapping rows to cover the bottom of the parchment paper. Sprinkle with some of the cheese and garlic. Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes, cheese and garlic have been used.
• Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Press down on the potatoes to distribute the egg mixture. Cover the dish with parchment paper and bake for 1 1/2 hours. (Remove the parchment paper from the top for the last 20 minutes to brown the top).
• Allow the flan to rest for at least 15 minutes before turning out of the pan and cutting into serving sizes. This dish is best made a day ahead, then portioned and reheated in 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a medium pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the onions, and cook for 7 minutes until soft, stirring frequently. Stir in the sugar and salt, and cook for a further 7 minutes. Add the port and vinegar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the thyme. Keeps for 1 week stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Place the tenderloin on a roasting rack. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and sugar, which will deepen the savory flavors.
• Press the crushed peppercorns all over the surface of the meat. Insert a meat thermometer and place in the oven until the beef registers 120 to 125 degrees F for medium-rare/rare. Beef will probably cook in 20 to 25 minutes depending on its temp before it goes in the oven.
• While the meat is roasting, melt the butter with the garlic in a small skillet, and allow the butter to slightly brown. Remove the garlic and discard.
• Remove the meat when it's done and pour the garlic butter over gently (it should sizzle when it hits the meat). Cover the meat loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Tuck thin tail end of tenderloin under roast for even thickness; tie beef at 3-in. intervals with kitchen string. Place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, Beau Monde seasoning and lemon juice. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour., Drain beef, discarding marinade. Sprinkle beef with pepper. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Place beef over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), about 1-1/4 hours, turning and basting with 1/4 cup melted butter. Remove roast from grill; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing., Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms with salt and pepper until tender, 8-10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Cut string and slice beef. Serve with mushrooms.

Steps:

• Place garlic and 1 pinch kosher salt into a mortar and pestle; grind garlic until it forms a paste. Mix olive oil into garlic.

• Combine peppercorns in a small bowl. Press ground peppercorn mixture generously onto roast. Flip meat and repeat, brushing with garlic paste and seasoning with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and peppercorn mixture.
• If desired, place roast on a rack over baking dish and refrigerate uncovered overnight to dry out. The next day, remove and let meat stand 1 hour to reach room temperature.
• Melt butter in a large ovenproof skillet; turn off heat. Place roast into hot butter and flip to coat both sides. Season with more salt if desired.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Roast meat in skillet in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove meat from oven and flip in skillet.
• Turn oven down to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Roast meat until pepper crust is lightly browned and an instant-read meat thermometer, inserted into the center of the roast, reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), about 15 more minutes.
• Transfer roast to a platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let roast stand at least 15 minutes.
• Place skillet with pan drippings over medium heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes to remove raw taste from flour. Whisk in veal stock.
• Turn heat to medium-high, bring sauce to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer pan sauce, stirring constantly, until reduced by half and sauce has slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and 1 pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir balsamic vinegar and any accumulated juices from meat platter into pan sauce.
• Carve beef across the grain, starting at the smallest corner of the roast. Serve slices on warmed plates drizzled with pan sauce.

Steps:

• Liberally pepper the beef tenderloin on all sides.
• Brown all sides of the beef tenderloin, set aside so its comes to room temperature.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt, rosemary and water. You want the consistency of wet, packable sand.

• Prepare beef Heat oven to 475°F. Let tenderloin rest at room temperature 1 hour. Pat meat with paper towels to dry, then lightly coat all over with oil. Sprinkle evenly with the salt and ground peppercorns, gently pressing to help them adhere.
• Sear beef Set a cast-iron griddle (or large roasting pan) over two burners and heat over high until hot. Carefully rub griddle lightly with oil (if using a roasting pan, add enough oil to barely coat the bottom of the pan) and heat until hot but not smoking, then place the tenderloin on the griddle and sear on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Use tongs to transfer beef to a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125°F for medium-rare, 20 to 30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
• Carve and serve Transfer tenderloin to a carving board and slice to desired thickness (about 1/2 inch is a nice size) before serving.
• Ingredients
• Green peppercorns have a subtle fruity flavor, but black peppercorns can be substituted. Or you can coat the tenderloin evenly with a coating of finely chopped fresh horseradish, minced garlic, or chopped sturdy fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme. These ingredients will scorch over high heat, so rub them on after the meat is seared, but before it goes into the oven (let cool briefly, or the meat will be too hot to handle).
