Best Beef Tenderloin With Red Wine Balsamic Reduction Recipes

FILET MIGNON WITH RICH BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over both sides of each steak, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place steaks in hot pan, and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add balsamic vinegar and red wine. Cover, and cook for 4 minutes on each side, basting with sauce when you turn the meat over.
• Remove steaks to two warmed plates, spoon one tablespoon of glaze over each, and serve immediately.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH RED WINE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the cippolini onions: Slice off the root end of the cippolinis. Put the cippolinis on a sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes in their skins. Remove from the oven, allow to come to room temperature, peel and reserve.
• For the beef tenderloin: Tie the beef tenderloin and season it generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then the tenderloin. Sear in the skillet on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Arrange the onions, garlic, thyme and carrots around the beef and add 2 tablespoons butter. Transfer to the oven and roast until the internal temperature registers 125 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the tenderloin from the skillet and let rest. Add 1 cup each of the beef stock and wine to the vegetables, along with the cippolini onions, and bring to a simmer, basting the vegetables occasionally. Cook until the liquid begins to reduce and thicken, about 15 minutes. Remove and reserve the carrots and cippolini onions and strain the liquid into a clean medium saucepan.
• Add the remaining beef stock and red wine to the liquid in the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until it reaches a glaze-like consistency, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat and, while whisking, add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk until the butter is fully absorbed and the glaze has a nice sheen. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut tenderloin in half and submerge each piece in the red wine glaze, coating well. Remove beef, take off string and slice into 1-inch pieces. Arrange sliced beef on a platter and top with the reserved carrots, cippolini onions and watercress.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH QUICK RED WINE PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking.
• On the tail end of the tenderloin, about a third of the way from where it begins to taper, make an incision almost all the way through the beef. Fold the tail onto the larger portion to make an even cylinder throughout. Use ten to twelve 8-inch pieces of butcher's twine to tie the tenderloin crosswise every 3/4 to 1 inch. This will help it to keep its shape and cook evenly.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• Pat the tenderloin dry. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season heavily with salt and pepper all around. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the beef and sear on all sides until a nice crust is formed, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add the thyme, garlic and 3 tablespoons of the butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, use a spoon to baste the beef with the herb and garlic infused butter for 30 seconds.
• Transfer the beef to a rack on a baking sheet, spoon over 2 tablespoons of the herb and garlic butter mixture from the cast-iron pan (reserve the pan) and roast until the internal temperature of the thickest part reaches 120 degrees F (for medium rare), 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the tenderloin. Cover the beef with foil and rest for 15 minutes.
• Add the shallots to the remaining herb and garlic butter mixture in the cast-iron pan and sweat over medium heat until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine and reduce until almost dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the beef stock, bring to a simmer and reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thoroughly mix the remaining 2 tablespoons butter with the flour in a small bowl.
• Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the butter and flour mixture bit by bit, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Serve with the perfectly roasted beef.

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 5 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
• While the liquid is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and soften in the microwave, if necessary (it should be soft but not melted). Add the flour and, using a small spoon, mix into a smooth paste.
• Once the wine mixture is reduced, reduce the heat to low and remove the thyme sprigs. Whisk the flour-butter paste, a teaspoonful at a time, into the simmering liquid, and simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Set aside. (The sauce can be made up to this point and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead of time.)
• Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Season the beef all over with kosher salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Cook, turning with tongs, until well browned on all but one side, about 10 minutes total. Turn the tenderloin so that the un-seared side is down, and transfer the skillet directly to the preheated oven. (If your pan isn't oven-proof, transfer the beef to a lightly oiled roasting pan.) Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 120°F-125° for medium rare, about 15 minutes, or until done to your liking (115°F-120°F for rare, 130°F-135°F for medium). Keep in mind that these temperatures account for the fact that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees while the meat rests.
• Transfer the meat to a carving board (preferably with a well for collecting juices) and let it rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Place a dishtowel or oven mitt over the handle of the roasting pan to remind yourself that it's hot.
• Meanwhile, carefully discard the fat from the roasting pan (remember that the handle is hot!). Set the pan on the stovetop and add the ¼ cup of beef broth. Bring the broth to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape the fond, or brown bits, from the bottom of the pan. Add the flavorful broth to the red wine sauce, and then bring the sauce to a simmer.
• Carve the tenderloin into ⅓-inch-thick slices. Serve the beef, passing the red wine sauce at the table.

RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallot in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Pour wine into saucepan; cook, stirring regularly, until reduced in volume by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir beef broth with the wine. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir butter and Italian seasoning into the sauce; cook until butter is completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt.

BEEF MEDALLIONS IN RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut tenderloin crosswise into 12 equal rounds. Pound beef rounds to flatten to generous 1/4-inch-thick medallions. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sauté beef in skillet until brown on outside but still pink in center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer beef to plate. Add remaining butter to same skillet. Add garlic, shallots and thyme; sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add flour; stir 1 minute. Add broth and wine. Boil until sauce thickens and is reduced to 1 1/4 cups, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Return beef and any collected juices to sauce in skillet; heat through, about 1 minute. Transfer beef to plates, Spoon sauce over.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROSEMARY-BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to the middle position. Heat oven to 450°F.
• Rub beef with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt. Heat 12-inch ovenproof skillet over high heat until hot. Add beef and sear on all sides until well browned.
• Place skillet in oven and roast beef 15 minutes. (If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, place beef in shallow roasting pan.) Remove from oven and flip beef. Roast 10 to 15 minutes longer or until meat thermometer inserted in center reads 135°F. Remove beef from skillet and place on warm platter. Cover tightly with foil (temperature will rise to 145°F for medium-rare).
• Place skillet (or roasting pan) over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and the shallots. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shallots brown slightly.
• Increase heat to high and add wine and vinegar. Heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced so about 1/4 cup liquid remains. Scrape up any browned bits from bottom of skillet, then add broth, cranberries and rosemary. Heat to boiling. Boil 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and remove and discard rosemary sprig. Beat in butter, 1 piece at a time, with wire whisk, adding the next piece only after the first has been completely beaten in and melted.
• To serve, cut beef into 1 1/2-inch slices. Divide sauce among serving plates and layer slices of beef on top.

BEEF TENDERLOIN MEDALLIONS WITH RED WINE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Rub each side of the tenderloin with the garlic powder, kosher salt, pepper, and herbs. Set aside for 30 minutes. Just prior to grilling, drizzle the tenderloin all over with the olive oil, evenly coating it.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Prepare your grill by scraping it, oiling it, and heating it to high.
• When the grill is as hot as possible, place the tenderloin in the center. If you are using a charcoal grill, place the tenderloin on the grill directly over the hot coals. Sear each side for 1 minute, moving the meat to a new spot on the grill each time you turn it. Cook each side of the tenderloin just long enough to sear it, not cook it through.
• Remove the tenderloin from the grill and place it on a baking sheet. Roast it in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare. A meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat should read 115˚F. Remove the meat from the oven, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
• To serve, slice the tenderloin into 1/2- to 1-inch medallions. Divide the medallions among 4 plates and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Drizzle the red wine reduction on top.
• In a large saucepan, combine the chicken stock, wine, port, thyme, rosemary, onion, carrot, and apple. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Strain the mixture, discarding the solids. Return the liquid to the pan, increase the heat to high, and boil for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid reduces to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Watch the sauce carefully; it can burn if it is reduced too much.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Add the butter and whisk until it is melted, about 1 minute. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. If the sauce tastes sharp, add a pinch of sugar.
• The tenderloin can be seared on the grill several hours before cooking it. For dinner parties, sear the tenderloin before the party and then finish it in the oven.
