Tenderloin with Sizzling Butter

Ingredients

1 Center-Cut Beef tenderloin, 3 1/2-4 pounds

1 cup Creamy Balsamic Dressing

2 tsp Creole Seasoning

1 tsp Seak Seasoning

2 tsp Black Pepper

1 cup Clarified Butter

Instructions

Trim excess fat from tenderloin. Place tenderloin in a large zip lock bag and pour the creamy balsamic dressing into the baggie with the beef. Marinate in refrigerator for 5-6 hours. Occasionally shake the bag to ensure all of the beef is covered with the marinade.

Remove marinated beef from the baggie and blot it dry using paper towels. Season the surface of the tenderloin with Creole seasoning, Steak seasoning, and the black pepper.

Prepare grill. Sear tenderloin over medium heat until it is well marked, about 15 minutes, turning one quarter of a turn every 4-5 minutes. Remove from direct heat and continue cooking until desired doneness is reached, about 15-20 minutes for medium rare.

Remove from grill and allow tenderloin to rest for 6-7 minutes before slicing. Slice tenderloin into 1/4 inch thick slices.

Just before serving, heat the clarified butter in a skillet until it begins to bubble. Drizzle over the sliced meat and serve immediately.

Yields: 6-8 servings

RSJ’s Smoked Yellowfin Tuna Dip

The smoked tuna dip at Harbor docks is, by far, the best in the area. Actually, it’s the best I have ever tasted. Over the years I have taken a few stabs at recreating a Harbor Dock’s version, but always come up short. After several failed attempts, and facing a cookbook deadline, I finally worked up a recipe for smoked crab dip, which is excellent, though my wife still prefers Harbor Docks smoked tuna dip.
