Peppered Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Portobello Sauce

A beef tenderloin roast can be a meal that your guests remember for years to come.  Additionally, beef tenderloin roasts are faster cooking, smaller, leaner, and more tender than a rib roast. 

My December assignment for SABER Grills, our gas grill sponsor, was beef tenderloin for the holiday table.  I came up with this straightforward yet delicious Peppered Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Portobello Sauce.

Recipe for Peppered Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Portobello Sauce

I used a "reverse pan seared" technique.  In addition to the usual benefits of a reverse sear, the reverse pan searing has a few advantages.  
  • Using cast iron gets an even crust when searing. 
  • Using the cast iron as your indirect shield preheats it for the sear.  
  • Best of all, you can use the sucs (brown bits in the pan) to create delicious pan sauces.
