Seared Beef Tenderloin With Sun Dried Tomato Butter Mushrooms Arugula Recipes

Steps:

• For the beef tenderloin: Preheat a saute pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Lightly oil the steaks. Place the steaks in the very hot pan and get a good sear on both sides. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the pan and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes.
• For the mushroom sauce: Drain the fat from the pan. Add the shallots, bring the pan to a medium heat and season with salt. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes, and then add in the garlic. Cook the garlic and shallots together for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, season with salt and stir to coat with the oil. Cook the mushrooms until they look soft and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the veal demi-glace. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes; the consistency should be almost as thick as gravy. If it is still thin, let it simmer for another couple of minutes until it does thicken.
• Check the consistency by coating a spoon with the sauce, turn the spoon over and draw a line down the middle of the spoon with your finger. If your finger leaves a track down the spoon without moving, then it is ready! Taste and adjust the salt, if needed.
• For the twice-baked potato mash and green beans: Add the potatoes to a pot of salted water. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and pass through a food mill or ricer. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream. Fold in the broccoli and Cheddar. Taste and season with salt as needed.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from the water and immediately add to a salted ice bath. Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add green beans and saute quickly until heated through.
• Serve the filets with the mushroom sauce on top and the twice-baked potato mash and green beans on the side.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil over medium-high heat; cook steaks to desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°), 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from pan, reserving drippings; keep warm., In same pan, heat drippings and remaining butter over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms and green onion until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended; gradually stir in broth and, if desired, browning sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with steaks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Season filets with kosher salt and pepper.
• Heat an oven-proof pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
• Add oil and heat briefly.
• Sear filets in oil on one side for 4-5 minutes. Turn them over, place the pan in the oven, and roast to desired doneness. (For medium rare that would be approximately 7 minutes.).
• Allow filets to rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients, stirring well with a whisk. Cover and chill. Secure beef at 2-inch intervals with twine. Sprinkle beef with pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; coat pan with cooking spray. Add beef to pan; cook 15 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning frequently. Let stand 15 minutes. Cut into 16 slices. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Arrange watercress evenly on bread slices. Place 1 beef slice and about 1 tablespoon chilled sauce over each bread slice. Arrange capers and cheese evenly over sauce.

Steps:

• Tie beef with kitchen string to hold shape. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Rub 1 tablespoon oil over beef. Add beef to skillet. Sear until brown on all sides and cooked to desired doneness, about 20 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer beef to plate. Freeze until almost frozen solid, about 3 hours. Remove string. Using large sharp knife, cut beef crosswise into very thin slices. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Arrange slices between sheets of waxed paper on baking sheet. Cover tightly and refrigerate.)
• Cover large platter with watercress. Arrange beef slices atop watercress. Drizzle with 2 1/2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with capers and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle with pepper. Serve with baguette slices and sauce.

Steps:

• Rub the beef with 1 tbsp oil, rosemary and garlic, then leave in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or up to 24 hrs. Make sure the beef returns to room temperature before you cook it.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat a non-stick, ovenproof frying pan or roasting tin until very hot. Rub most of the garlic and rosemary from the beef, season with black pepper and flaky salt, then sear on all sides until dark brown and almost crusted - about 5 mins in total. Transfer the pan to the oven, then roast the beef for 10 mins for mediumrare. Leave to rest for a good 15 mins and keep any juices.
• While the meat rests, sauté the mushrooms. Heat 1 tbsp butter and the remaining oil in a large frying pan, then tip in the mushrooms with plenty of seasoning. Fry until golden and just softened, then tip into a bowl.
• Add the stock to the mushroom pan, then reduce by two-thirds. Tip in the mushrooms and balsamic, then add the remaining butter and let it melt. Tip in any meat juices, then season to taste and keep warm. Thickly slice the beef and spoon over the sauce. Serve with mash and spinach.

Steps:

• Mix the minced sun-dried tomatoes with 2 Tbs of the butter and the vinegar. Season with a pinch or two of salt, wrap in plastic, and shape it into a 2-inch-long cylinder. Put in the freezer to firm. Season the beef well on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until quite hot. Sear the medallions until well browned on both sides and cooked to rare, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the remaining 2 Tbs butter to the pan. When its foaming (right away), add the shallots, cook for 30 seconds, and add the mushrooms and a good pinch of salt. Saute until the mushrooms are well browned, approx 2 minutes. Add the arugula to the pan and toss with the mushrooms, cooking just until the leaves have wilted. Arrange the sauteed vegetables on dinner plates, top with the beef, and serve with a slice or two of the chilled butter on the meat.
