This Week's Wine Selection
==========================
Hogue Genesis Syrah 2006 Price: $12
The Genesis Syrah is selected from specific vineyards to emphasize
luscious fruit and depth of color. The 2006 vintage was exceptional;
resulting in a wine with bright red cherry and raspberry aromas
augmented by oak notes of cedar and cinnamon toast. On the palate,
it is very fruity and is reminiscent of currants with a strawberry
essence that lingers, along with a bit of cinnamon spice, charred
mesquite, and cherry wood. The structure is subtle yet firm.
Serve With:
Stuffed Beef Tenderloin
=======================
1 1/2 pound beef tenderloin
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup red wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350F. Butterfly the beef tenderloin by cutting the
beef lengthwise down the center to within 1/2-inch of other side.
Set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt butter and cook shallots and mushrooms
until tender. Add wine and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes
or until liquid is reduced.
To stuff and roll the tenderloin, open (or butterfly) the beef and
flatten with a meat mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
Spoon mushroom mixture down the center of tenderloin. Bring the two
sides of the tenderloin up around filling to meet. Use butcher
string and tie around the roll at 1-inch intervals. Place roll in
roasting pan.
Bake for 45 minutes for medium-rare. Let stand for 5 minutes before
slicing.
