Stuffed Beef Tenderloin
This dish has a few of my favorite things, really good beef, garlic and cheese add to that some tasty steak spice and you’re good to go. For a bit of a twist on this dish and to add some heat sauté some thinly sliced hot peppers as well. I like to buy the whole tenderloin and carefully trim it cut off the small end and the cap at the other end, then split the rest of the tenderloin in half and double this recipe but do each one with a different cheese or make one with hot peppers. See; Beef Tenderloin Tacos and Beef Tenderloin Extras, for ideas for the unused portion of the tenderloin.
Ingredients
2 pound whole beef filet
1 leek
1 garlic bulb
4 ounces of cheese; aged white cheddar, Gruyere or blue cheese
Cypress Hills Steak Rub
Directions
Cut the top off of the garlic to expose the garlic, wrap in tin foil and bake in oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees until soft. When cool enough to handle squeeze the roasted garlic out into a small bowl and spoon into opened beef.
Wash and slice the leek into long strips and lightly sauté them in olive oil with a pinch of sea salt to soften and set aside to cool.
Cut into the filet lengthwise but not all the way through it, open it up and make 2 more slices one on each side but not all the way through it and it opens like a book. Sprinkle the inside with Cypress Hills Steak Rub and lay in strips of cheese; I like to use an aged white cheddar, Swiss Gruyere or blue cheese. Place sautéed leeks on the cheese and roll up and tie with butcher’s string. Lightly cover the roll with Cypress Hills Steak Rub and sear the meat in a skillet with a bit of olive oil, be sure to sear all sides to brown and get some colour then place the roll and the pan in the oven – provided the pan can go in the oven – pre-heated to 350 and bake for 15 to 20 minutes depending on doneness, I like to take the meat out when the center reaches 120 degrees, let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
