        beholding your power and glory. 

    [3] Because your steadfast love is better than life,

        my lips will praise you.

Beef Tenderloin with Persillade Relish
































26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."
27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe."
28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." - John 20:26-29




Can't even express how good this was!
Made a few changes but nothing major.
My inspiration came from the America's Test Kitchen recipe.
The relish is yummy!


1 4-1/2 lb extreme peeled prime beef Tenderloin (Costco)

Rub

2 1/4 t kosher salt
1 t black pepper 
1 t baking soda
2 t roasted garlic, mashed 
1 T olive oil

Potatoes

3 T olive oil
2 bags of tiny Yukon gold potatoes
5 scallions, diced
2 T roasted garlic
1 T smoked paprika
Salt and pepper

1/2 c water to deglaze the pan

Persillade Relish for serving

3/4 c diced parsley
1/2 c olive oil
6 T mild pepper rings, diced, plus 1 t of the brine
1/4 c capers, rinsed and diced 
1 scallion, diced
1 T roasted garlic 
1 t sugar
1/4 t each kosher salt and black pepper 
Mix well.

Beef directions 

Make the rub. 
Pat dry beef.
Turn under small thin tail, tie with kitchen string every 2 inches.
Cover beef with rub and let set out at room temp for 1 hour.

Potatoes directions

In a large metal roasting pan, heat the oil over 2 cooking eyes , add the scallions, garlic and seasoning, cook until scallions are tender. 
Take off stove eye and add water.
Scrape the bits off bottom and stir into water mixture.
Add potatoes and stir around to coat.
Bake in a 425 oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and stir again.

Direction to finish 

Turn heat to 300 and add beef to top of potatoes.
Put in middle rack and add pan back in oven.
Bake 55 minutes or until internal temp is 120 degrees. 
Turn on broiler and roast 5-10 minutes to develop a slight crust.
Remove to cutting board, tent with foil, rest 15 minutes.
Slice and put a thin layer of the relish down the middle.

EJ's Beef Tenderloin






4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!" 
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.  - Psalm 116:4-5







First you must get a good cut of beef. I recommend Costco and get the one that's trimmed and ready to cook. It's pricey but worth every dime!!!

1 trimmed beef tenderloin 
Kosher salt
Coarse Cracked Black Pepper, I love Malabar from Costco

Herb butter
1 stick butter, softened 
1 T snipped Fresh chives
1 t Fresh Greek oregano
1 t Fresh Rosemary
1 t Roasted garlic, mashed
1 t Fresh Lemon Thyme
Add to butter and stir.



Place unopened tenderloin on counter 3 1/2 hours before cooking.
This allows meat temp to become even to allow for even cooking.
After 2 hours, open, rinse, place on a cutting board lined with parchment.
Using cotton kitchen twine, tie meat every 3 inches tucking under the end that's thin.
Being careful not to tie so tight that it digs into the meat.
Liberally salt and let sit 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Using a drizzle of olive oil, in a skillet, sear beef.
Let rest 15 minutes to allow for cooling.
Now cover the beef with the herb butter.
Sprinkle with coarse pepper.
Place on a rack so that the heat will be distributed evenly around all sides.
Cook until internal temp is 140 degrees.
Do not go over 140, it's a perfect!!!
Remove from oven, loosely foil and rest, in the rack for 15 minutes.
Remove to cutting board.
Snip strings and remove.
Be prepared for comments like "this is better than a restaurant", and "can I have the recipe?
