Beef Tenderloin
No real recipes involved with this post, but I thought I would share my pics anyway. Just picked up some beef tenderloin in Chicago this past weekend (yes, I take a cooler with me just so I can bring the meat back safely) They have the cheapest prices I've ever heard of at a grocery store called "Caputo's." ($4.99/lb.) I bought five of 'em! I usually trim them up, cut them into a few good sized roasts, and freeze them for future use. Also, as an "fyi," ran across these garlic fries from TJ's the other day. In keeping with their wonderful tradition, TJ's came through again. They were quick and tasty. Plus, combined with my tenderloin, it made for an easy weeknight "french bistro" style meal. I added a little homemade horseradish sauce as well. Love that stuff.

That's Cheap! I usually see it at around 8.99 or 9.99. Looks good though, "nicely cooked that beef" (in a Gordon Ramsey voice). What's in the sauce? I love horseradish sauce with beef.
ReplyDeletenice crust on that roast. what did you do with the fond? I'm assuming that was a pan roast?
ReplyDeleteGotta love the pan roast.
ReplyDeleteThat's correct: pan roast. Love the pan roast for just about everything, especially in an insanely hot cast iron pan, which is what developed the nice crust. Horseradish sauce is a base of sour cream with chives and lemon juice. Then add whatever level of heat you want from the horseradish, plus tons of fresh ground pepper and some salt to taste.
