Best Jerk Spiced Beef Tenderloin Recipes

JERK-RUBBED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine the green onions, habanero, ginger, orange zest and juice, canola oil and some salt and pepper in a food processor. Process until almost smooth, then pour the marinade into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add the tenderloin to the bag, seal and refrigerate for at least 4 and up to 24 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.
• Heat the grill to high. Remove the tenderloin from the marinade, shake off excess and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until slightly charred on the first side, about 2 minutes. Turn and char on the reverse side, another 2 minutes.
• Cover the grill and cook, turning once or twice, until the marinade has formed a crust and the tenderloin has reached an internal temperature of 125 to 130 degrees F (medium-rare), about 10 minutes. Remove the tenderloin from the grill and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

HERBED AND SPICED ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, garlic, shallot, orange zest, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cloves. Run machine while adding oil; process until smooth. Spread mixture evenly over all sides of tenderloins. Place beef in a large glass baking dish. Cover with foil, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place tenderloins on a rack in a large roasting pan.
• Roast beef in preheated oven until meat thermometer registers 140 degrees when inserted into center of beef, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven, and cover loosely with foil; let stand for 10 minutes. Slice beef, and serve.

SPICY GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Heat the broiler. Put the cherry tomatoes onto baking sheets, drizzle over some olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Broil until the tomatoes burst, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow them to cool a bit. In a large bowl add about 1/4 cup olive oil, juice of 2 limes, onion, chili, chopped cilantro, cheese, and the tomatoes. Mix carefully to avoid breaking up the tomatoes too much. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Heat the grill or a grill pan to medium. Rub the meat with some olive oil and season it generously with salt and pepper. Grill the tenderloin, browning it on all sides, until it is medium rare, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the meat to a cutting board, cover it with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Slice the meat thin, place it on a platter, and spoon on the cheesy tomato dressing. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and cilantro leaves.

• Quarter beef lengthwise and pat dry. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and rub jerk paste all over beef.
• Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add beef and sear, turning, 4 to 5 minutes total. Let rest on a cutting board 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• Finely chop onions and cilantro together. Top plantain chips with beef, then with onion salsa.
