Zubereitung von Beef Tenderloin In Cherry Sauce
- Drain the cherry juice from 1 cup of fresh or frozen pitted cherries into a large saucepan. Set the cherries aside.
- Add 1/4 cup port wine, 1/2 cup beef broth, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1 minced shallot, 1 bay leaf, and 5 black peppercorns to the saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the mixture is reduced to about 2/3 cup (12-15 minutes).
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder in 1 teaspoon of water. Stir this mixture into the sauce.
- Simmer until the sauce is shiny and slightly thickened (about 1 minute).
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve, cover, and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat.
- Season the 2 (6-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Add the steaks to the hot skillet and brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Cook to your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended for tenderloin).
- Transfer the steaks to a large platter and keep warm.
- Add the reserved 1 cup of cherries and 2 tablespoons of Kirsch to the skillet. Carefully ignite the Kirsch (flambé).
- Once the flames die down, reduce the heat to low and add the prepared cherry sauce.
- Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of grenadine syrup. The sauce should be a bright red color.
- Return the beef tenderloin steaks to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, until heated through.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Transfer the beef tenderloin steaks to warmed dinner plates.
- Spoon the cherry sauce generously over the steaks and serve immediately.
