Beef Tenderloin

Braised Beef Short Rib

Method

Beef Tenderloin Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Tenderloin

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the beef tenderloin.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tenderloin

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the tenderloin for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

  3. 3

    Roast the Tenderloin

    Transfer the seared tenderloin to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Braised Beef Short Rib Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Ribs

    Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Sear the Ribs

    In the same skillet used for the tenderloin, sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  3. 6

    Add Vegetables and Liquid

    Remove the ribs and set aside. In the same skillet, add chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, then add red wine and scrape up any browned bits. Add beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, and return the ribs to the skillet.

  4. 7

    Braise the Short Ribs

    Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2-3 hours until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone. Discard bay leaves before serving.
