Roasted Beef Tenderloin With Mushroom Ragout Recipes

Steps:

• Combine garlic, thyme, oil, wine, bay leaf, Kitchen Bouquet and soy sauce. Pour over tenderloin and marinade overnight. Remove tenderloin from refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to roasting to allow meat to relax.
• Preheat oven to 425. Place tenderloin in open roasting pan and bake 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 125 (medium rare). Baste with marinade 2-3 times during roasting.
• Let roast rest loosely covered and while it rests, pour marinate into small saucepan and boil.
• In separate pan, melt butter and saute onion and mushrooms until onions are translucent and mushrooms give off their juices. Add flour to mixture and stir. Pour boiling marinade into pan with mushrooms and onions and stir to thicken. As mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat.
• Slice meat and add mushroom ragout to the side or on top of beef.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the veal stock to a simmer and reduce it to 1/4 of its original volume, until 1 cup of syrupy liquid remains (this may take up to 45 minutes). Set aside.
• Prepare the spatzle as directed in the above recipe.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until it is very hot, and add the vegetable oil. Saute the beef strips, tossing frequently, for 2 minutes, or until seared. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, tossing, until they give up their liquid. Add the mustard, cream, salt, a generous amount of pepper, and the reduced veal stock. Stir to mix thoroughly and remove from the heat.
• Make a bed of the spatzle in each of 6 shallow heated bowls, top with a generous spoonful of the ragout and lots of sauce, and sprinkle a few scallions over each.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In 9 inch pie pan, toss shallots with oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until shallots are deep brown and very tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• In a large saucepan, combine beef broth and port. Bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until the volume is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Whisk in tomato paste. Set aside.
• Pat beef dry; sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. In a large roasting pan, set over medium heat on the stove top, saute bacon until golden. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Add beef to pan; brown on all sides over medium high heat, about 7 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven. Roast beef until meat thermometer inserted into center registers 125 degrees F (50 degrees C) for medium rare, about 25 minutes. Transfer beef to platter. Tent loosely with foil.
• Spoon fat off top of pan drippings in roasting pan. Place pan over high heat on stove top. Add broth mixture, and bring to boil; stir to scrape up any browned bits. Transfer to a medium saucepan, and bring to simmer. Mix 1 1/2 tablespoon butter and flour in small bowl to form smooth paste; whisk into broth mixture, and simmer until sauce thickens. Whisk in remaining butter. Stir in roasted shallots and reserved bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut beef into 1/2 inch thick slices. Spoon some sauce over, and garnish with watercress.

Steps:

• Combine porcini mushrooms and water in a bowl; soak until soft, 1 hour. Drain and reserve liquid. Dice and set mushrooms and reserved liquid aside.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Place beef in the skillet; cook until brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 tablespoon butter, shallots, and a pinch of salt; cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour tarragon vinegar into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits off of the bottom. Stir until liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Pour in veal stock, cream, 1/2 cup reserved mushroom liquid, mushrooms, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Return beef to the skillet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until meat is medium rare, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer meat to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Set skillet over high heat and bring pan juices to a boil.
• Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and tarragon; season with salt and pepper to taste. Return tenderloin and any accumulated juices to skillet and serve.
