Rubbed Beef Tenderloin Recipes

Steps:

• Chop the herbs and blend them with the olive oil. Rub the mixture on the tenderloin and let sit overnight in the refrigerator. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a griddle or large skillet sear the beef on all sides until brown.
• Place in the preheated oven and roast until the internal temperature is 120 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Let the tenderloin rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

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.

Steps:

• Toast spices with salt in a dry 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until mustard seeds begin to pop, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool completely, then grind in grinder.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Pat beef dry, then rub spice mixture all over it (including ends). Heat oil in same skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Brown beef on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Transfer beef to a small roasting pan and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center of meat registers 120°F for medium-rare, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer beef to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes (internal temperature will rise to about 130°F).
• Cut off string and slice beef. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Tie roast with kitchen string in three evenly spaced places to help keep its tubular shape.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil, the mustard, oregano, chipotle chile, chile powder, cumin, black pepper and garlic.
• In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil until very hot. Season beef generously all over with salt. Place it in pan and sear bottom without moving until it forms a golden brown crust, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and repeat with remaining sides.
• Transfer beef to a rimmed baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, smear mustard-chile rub all over beef. Roast until a thermometer registers 115 degrees for rare and 120 for medium-rare (beef will continue to cook as it rests), 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely, then wrap and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
