Categories     Dinner

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
¾ cup finely chopped shallots, from 2-3 large shallots
1¼ cups red wine
3 cups beef broth
6 fresh thyme sprigs
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (2 - 3 lb) center-cut beef tenderloin roast
Kosher salt (½ teaspoon per pound of beef)
Freshly ground black pepper (¼ teaspoon per pound of beef)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup beef broth

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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied
2 teaspoons coarse salt

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED SHALLOTS



Beef Tenderloin With Roasted Shallots image

This recipe is modified from Christine's at Allrecipes.com. It is a gourmet-style meal that is great for a dinner party with the boss. A little time consuming but will make a novice look like a pro. The shallot sauce alone is worth the recipe. I made this and doubled the recipe. No leftovers. Will have to triple it next time! You can prepare the shallots a day ahead of time (especially helpful if you plan on serving this for a holiday dinner).

Time 4h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 lb shallot, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
3 cups low sodium beef broth (I use low-sodium, otherwise it's too salty)
3/4 cup port wine (I used Mountain Burgundy from a box and it came out fine)
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 lbs beef tenderloin, trimmed (same cut filet mignon comes from)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 slices bacon
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F In a roasting pan, toss shallots with oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast until shallots are deep brown and very tender. Set the timer for 15 minutes, stir, turn over. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 60 minutes.
  • In a large saucepan, combine beef broth and wine. Bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until the volume is reduced by half, about 30 minutes (mine took 20). Whisk in tomato paste. Set aside.
  • Pat beef dry. Tie up roast to that it will cook evenly. Sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. (Sure seems like a lotta salt, use Salt-Free Montreal Steak Seasoning instead). In a large roasting pan, set over medium heat on the stove top, sauté bacon until crisp. 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 at 350°F until meat thermometer inserted into center registers 125°F for medium rare, about 25 minutes/pound. (Start checking with a meat thermometer after 1 hour). 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 tablespoons 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 crumble the bacon. Season with salt (?) and pepper.
