Best Shaker Herb Marinated Spinach Stuffed Whole Beef Tenderloin Recipes

STUFFED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter, add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sherry, dates, cranberries, thyme and sage and simmer until just dry, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Season the inside of the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Spread an even layer of the fruit and herb mixture over it, leaving about 1/2 inch of tenderloin around the edges. Top with a layer of the almonds. Roll tightly and tie with at least 4 pieces of butcher's twine (easier to cut and portion!).
• Place the loin on a wire-racked baking sheet and season the outside with salt and pepper. Cook until the center of the tenderloin registers 120 to 125 degrees F, about 2 hours.
• In a large skillet, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat until just foaming. Place the loin in the skillet and sear on all sides until evenly crusty and brown, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with minced chives and serve with horseradish sauce.

BOURBON BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Combine red wine vinegar, olive oil, and bourbon. Massage mixture into the beef with your hands. Marinate the beef tenderloin in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Place marinated beef tenderloin in a roasting pan, place in oven and cook for 30 minutes (if you like rare beef, cook longer if you prefer your beef more well done). Let stand for about 1 hour. Place on serving platter and serve with fresh asparagus.

PEPPERCORN ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

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.

STUFFED BEEF ROLLS (ZRAZY ZAWIJANE)

Steps:

• For the beef rolls: Sprinkle salt and pepper over each side of the sliced beef. Then spread a thin layer of yellow mustard onto each piece. Divide the pickle strips, bacon and onions onto each steak. Fold in the sides and roll to secure the insides.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the rolls on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the rolls and set aside. Add the flour to the pan and cook until light brown to make a roux, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve the roux in the pan to make the sauce.
• Bring the water to a boil in a large stockpot. Wrap each beef roll in a 11-by-7-inch piece of aluminum foil and twist the ends to seal the rolls tightly inside. Place the rolls into the boiling water and bring down the heat to a high simmer. Cover and cook in the water for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• Remove the rolls from the water with tongs and reserve the cooking liquid to prepare the sauce.
• For the sauce: Heat the pan with the roux over medium heat and add the cooking liquid, stock, tomato paste, red wine and paprika. Simmer until the liquid is a sauce consistency (coats a spoon). Season with salt and pepper. Yield: 4 cups.
• To serve, unwrap the beef rolls from the foil. Spoon the sauce over each beef roll and accompany with mashed potatoes or noodles covered in sauce and a vegetable.

PEPPERED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine the pepper, oil, lemon peel, salt and garlic; rub over tenderloin. Place on a greased rack in a foil-lined roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400°F for 45-65 minutes or until beef reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°F; medium, 160°F; well-done, 170°F. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
