Ingredients
Beef Tenderloin:
- 2 1/2 pound Certified Angus Beef ® tenderloin roast
- 2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Blueberry Sauce:
- 1 shallot , finely minced
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
To serve:
- 2 tablespoons toasted hazelnuts , chopped
- flakey sea salt
Instructions
Beef Tenderloin:
- Preheat oven to 225°F.
- Season tenderloin roast with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Slow cook roast for 80-90 minutes (or until internal temperature reaches 125°F for rare). This can vary greatly from roast to roast, please measure. Remove roast from oven.
- Right before removing, heat a large cast iron pan or other skillet. Add oil.
- Add tenderloin, turning occasionally until evenly browned. This only takes 3-4 minutes.
- Low heat and add butter, allowing it to melt fast. Remove from heat and spoon hot butter over roast.
- Remove, tent with foil and allow to rest while you make the blueberry sauce. If you made your blueberry sauce ahead of time, allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Not as much time is needed for a reverse sear.
Blueberry sauce:
- Using browned and beef seasoned butter already in the pan, add shallots and allow to soften for 1-2 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients including red wine, fresh blueberries, thyme sprigs, Iight brown sugar and balsamic vinegar..
- Bring to a low simmer, stirring every so often. Heat until blueberries start to burst and reduce in size. Sauce should start to thick and become syrupy, about 5-10 minutes. Be mindful that it will continue to thicken as it cools, so don’t wait until it is super sticky to remove from heat.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2-4 minutes. Remove thyme sprigs.
- Serve on the side of beef or ladle over beef tenderloin on serving platter.
To serve:
- Thinly slice beef tenderloin and place on a serving platter. Top with toasted hazelnuts and flakey sea salt, such as Maldon sea salt.
- You can serve the sauce on the side with other sauces (such as horseradish) as well or ladle over the top for a stunning centerpiece.
Notes
- You can use frozen blueberries as well, just thaw them and drain well.
- You can prepare the sauce ahead of time if you don't want to do it after searing. Simply start in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, follow the directions and then correct seasoning with salt and pepper at the end.
- To toast hazelnuts: place them in a dry skillet over medium heat, tossing for about 3-4 minutes. Toasting brings out natural oils, flavor and aroma.
- You can use dried thyme instead of fresh. Use about ½ teaspoon.
