Smoked Gruyere Kobe Burgers with Caramelized Leeks

                                                                                                                           

Ps.78:1-8
1 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth! 

2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, 
3 things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. 
4 We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. 
5 He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children, 
6 that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, 
7 so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; 
8 and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Oven Roast Beef Tenderloin

Ps.103:11-16
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; 

12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. 
13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. 
14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. 
15 As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; 
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.


Take tenderloin out of package, oil with olive oil, lots of coarse salt, and pepper.
Place tenderloin, uncovered on waxed paper and place on a cookie sheet and set in fridge for 24 hours.
This will create a dry surface which will help the herb mixture adhere better.

Two hours before cooking set tenderloin out so it will come to room temp and evenly cook. Tie the tenderloin with kitchen string at 1 inch intervals.


Take fresh chopped tarragon; mix with a little olive oil and garlic salt to make a paste. Cover tenderloin. Liberally salt and pepper tenderloin again!

Take 1/2 c red wine, 1 c water and 1/2 Jim Beam put in bottom of pan to steam tenderloin as it bakes. Place tenderloin on rack and put on top of liquid mixture.

I roasted mine 425 degrees for 1 hour but next time I will only cook it for 50 minutes. This was so yummy! I made tarragon butter, recipe found on my log, to add to your tenderloin before eating.

Roast: Browning the tenderloin first is not optional, it will caramelize the outside and lock in the juices. In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat and quickly brown the tenderloin on all sides in the hot oil. Transfer the roast to a rack in a shallow roasting pan which has the prepared liquid. Preheat oven to 425°F. Roast tenderloin, uncovered, according to the timing chart below.

The temperature of the meat will rise during the rest time.

White Chocolate Peppermint PopCorn

3 bags microwave Tender white Popcorn, popped
1 6 oz box candy canes, crushed
1 package White Chocolate Almond Bark


After you cook the popcorn, melt white chocolate in microwave. Add the crushed peppermint to white chocolate and start adding to the popcorn with a wooden spoon. The popcorn needs to be in a large bowl or pan so you can evenly distribute the chocolate mint mixture through the popcorn. Spread it out on parchment to harden.
