Sb Pan Seared Beef Tenderloin With Creamy Peppercorn Sauce Recipes

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:

• In a spice grinder, coarsely grind the peppercorns. Rub steaks on both sides pressing to adhere. Season lightly with salt. Discard garlic.
• Lightly coat a large heavy skillet or cast iron with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add steaks and sear on each side, about 1 minute per side. Continue to cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• While steak is resting, return the pan to medium heat, add broth, and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits clinging to the pan. Stir in sour cream and remove from the heat. Serve the steaks warm with sauce drizzled on top.
