Sous Vide Beef Tenderloin with Garlic and Herb Butter
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks, 6 oz each
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup of red wine
- 1/2 cup of beef broth
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the sous vide machine to 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium doneness.
- Season the beef tenderloin steaks with salt and pepper, then place each steak in a separate vacuum-sealed bag.
- Divide the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme evenly among the bags, then add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to each bag. Seal the bags using a vacuum sealer.
- Place the sealed bags in the preheated water bath and cook for 2 hours.
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the garlic and herb butter by mixing the softened butter with the remaining minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Shape the butter into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a saucepan, combine the red wine, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sauce is reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the beef is done cooking, remove the steaks from the bags and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side to develop a crust.
- Slice the garlic and herb butter into rounds and place a slice on top of each steak. Let the butter melt and baste the steaks with the melted butter.
- Serve the sous vide beef tenderloin with the red wine reduction sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy!
The history of Sous Vide Beef Tenderloin with Garlic and Herb Butter served with a red wine reduction sauce can be traced back to the innovative culinary techniques of French chefs. The method of sous vide, which involves cooking vacuum-sealed food in a water bath at a precise temperature, was developed in the 1970s. This technique ensures that the beef tenderloin is cooked to perfection, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. The addition of garlic and herb butter enhances the natural richness of the beef, while the red wine reduction sauce adds a luxurious depth of flavor. This dish has become a staple in fine dining establishments, particularly in regions known for their culinary expertise such as France, Italy, and the United States. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in renowned restaurants with skilled chefs who understand the delicate balance of flavors and the precise cooking techniques required to achieve the perfect sous vide beef tenderloin. The key to getting this dish right lies in the quality of the beef, the infusion of the garlic and herb butter, and the careful reduction of the red wine sauce to achieve a velvety texture and rich taste. For those looking to explore alternative methods, some chefs also opt for grilling or pan-searing the beef tenderloin before finishing it in the sous vide bath, adding a smoky charred flavor to the dish. Whether prepared traditionally or with a modern twist, Sous Vide Beef Tenderloin with Garlic and Herb Butter served with a red wine reduction sauce remains a timeless and elegant culinary masterpiece.
