Seared Beef Tenderloin Filets Recipes

Steps:

• PREHEAT oven to 425 degrees with a rack in the center. TRIM tenderloin and cut into 6-8oz filets; season each filet with salt and pepper. Heat an ovenproof sauté pan over medium high heat for 5 minutes. SEAR filets in oil on one side for 4-5 minutes. Turn them over, place the pan in the oven, and roast to desired doneness: (RARE SEAR 5 MINUTES, ROAST 5 MINUTES REST 5 MINUTES,) (MEDIUM RARE: SEAR 5 MINUTES, ROAST 7 MINUTES, REST 5 MINUTES) (MEDIUM: SEAR 5 MINUTES, ROAST 9 MINUTES, REST5 MINUTES). Remove pan from the oven, transfer filets to a plate, tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes before serving. SERVE with Béarnaise sauce. Béarnaise SAUCE: BRING vinegar, wine, shallots and tarragon to a boil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Boil until most of the liquid evaporates , about 5 minutes. OFF heat, add water then whisk in egg yolks until frothy. GRADUALLY drizzle in butter, whisking constantly to incorporate. Sauce should be thick, but thin it with a little water if needed. If it is too thin, return it to low heat and whisk constantly until thickened. STRAIN sauce through a medium mesh strainer into a heatproof cup. Season with lemon juice, salt, white pepper, and cayenne. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pat meat dry and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add fillets and cook to desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes for medium. Transfer filets to a serving plate and pour off fat from the skillet. Add wine and bring to a boil to deglaze pan. Stir in stock and cream and boil sauce until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add tomatoes and basil and blend well.
• Pour sauce over beef on the serving plate.

Steps:

• Season the steak on both sides with the salt and place on a rack set inside a sheet pan for 10 minutes at room temperature while you preheat your oven.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Insert a probe thermometer horizontally through the side of the steak and roast the steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 120 degrees F, about 30 minutes (see Cook's Note). Remove the steak from the oven and rest uncovered for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a 12-inch cast-iron pan over high heat until it reaches at least 600 degrees F, about 10 minutes. (You'll know you're close when a half teaspoon water dropped into the middle of the pan is completely evaporated in 5 seconds).
• Brush a very light coat of peanut oil onto both sides of the steak. Sear steak on each side for 1 minute.
• Rest the steak on a rack 5 minutes, and then slice diagonally against the grain to serve.

• Medium Rare: Sear for 5 minutes, Roast for 7 minutes, and Rest for 5 minutes.
• Medium: Sear for 5 minutes, Roast for 9 minutes, Rest for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the middle of oven.
• 2. Season the tenderloin filets with salt and pepper.
• 3. You need to use an oven proof frying pan for this recipe. (I use my cast iron skillet) Get you pan very hot. Oil the pan and place the filets on the hot pan.(do not over crowd the pan. Do them in batches if need be or they will not get that professional looking "crust" to them. Once in pan, DO NOT MOVE THEM, TURN THEM, OR PLAY WITH THEM. The idea is to get a nice "crust" on the filet. Let them cook in the hot pan for 5 minutes. Then turn them over ( to reveal a beautiful crust) Place the whole pan in the preheated oven right away. Finish cooking them in the oven until desired done-ness. (again, I never cook tenderloin to a well done. It isnt a cut that fairs well with well done. Medium rare is the way to go in my book!) :)
