beef tenderloin with rioja sauce
many thanks to the barcelona tapas restaurant st. louis., mo.
beef tenderloin with rioja sauce
yield: 4 servings
for beef
6 tbsp red wine
3/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp chopped garlic
salt
ground black pepper
1 lb beef tenderloin
for sauce
1 bottle (3 1/4 cups) burgundy wine
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
for serving
sauteed spinach
crumbled blue cheese

Directions:

1. Marinate the beef. In a bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons red wine, oil, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste; pour into a self-sealing plastic bag. Cut beef into four equal pieces; cut each piece into five or six chunks. Add beef to bag; refrigerate overnight.
2. The next day, prepare the sauce. In a heavy, deep, nonstick skillet, stir together burgundy wine, sugar, cinnamon stick and red pepper flakes. Place over medium-high heat and stir until sugar has dissolved. Simmer briskly until wine is reduced to a thin syrup, 20 to 25 minutes. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups.) Discard cinnamon stick.
3. Remove beef from bag and discard marinade. Grill tenderloin to desired doneness.
4. To serve, place sautéed spinach on serving plates; top with beef chunks, then Rioja Sauce. Top each serving with about 2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles.
Tester's note: Sauce recipe may be cut in half. Or use this delicious sauce on pork, fish or chicken, drizzle over roasted vegetables or use as a sauce for fondue.
