Ingredients:
- 1 beef tenderloin, about 2 pounds
- 1 tablespoon ground mixed peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Roasted Apples and Onions:
- 2 apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 onions, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Enhanced Ingredients and Instructions:
Mixed Peppercorn Crust:
- Use a variety of peppercorns for a more complex flavor profile. Consider using black, white, green, pink, and/or allspice berries.
- Toast the peppercorns in a skillet before grinding to enhance their aroma and flavor.
- Add a small amount of Dijon mustard to the peppercorn mixture for a tangy touch.
Beef Tenderloin:
- Marinate the beef tenderloin in the peppercorn mixture for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Sear the tenderloin on all sides in a hot skillet before roasting to create a flavorful crust.
- Roast the tenderloin to an internal temperature of 135°F (medium-rare) or 145°F (medium) for optimal tenderness and juiciness.
Roasted Apples and Onions:
- Add other root vegetables to the roasting pan, such as carrots, parsnips, or rutabagas, for additional variety and flavor.
- Toss the vegetables with a mixture of olive oil, honey, and fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or sage) for extra sweetness and a touch of herbal aroma.
- Roast the vegetables until they are caramelized and tender, but not mushy.
Sauce Ideas:
- Serve with a rich red wine sauce made from a reduction of red wine, beef broth, and herbs.
- Create a creamy mushroom sauce by sautéing mushrooms with shallots, garlic, and a mixture of heavy cream and white wine.
- Pair the tenderloin with a tangy chimichurri sauce made from fresh herbs, olive oil, and vinegar.
Presentation:
- Slice the beef tenderloin against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Arrange the tenderloin on a platter with the roasted apples and onions.
- Drizzle the desired sauce over the meat and vegetables.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of coarse salt for a finishing touch.
