Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Sauce

Ingredients:

• 3-pound beef tenderloin, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons butter

Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the tenderloin. Place the tenderloin on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and roast for 35-40 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F. Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

While the beef is resting, make the red wine sauce. Place the roasting pan on the stove over medium heat and add the wine and beef broth. Stir and scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer until it reduces by half. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until it melts. Serve the sliced beef with the red wine sauce on the side.

Crispy Baked Pork Chops with Apples and Onions

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 apples, cored and thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon rosemary leaves
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and place on a baking sheet.

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened. Add the apples, thyme, and rosemary and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Spoon this mixture over the pork chops on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the apples and onions are caramelized.

Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 egg yolk
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

In a food processor, pulse together the flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and pulse until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line the tart shell with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the weights and foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Let the tart shell cool.

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, brown sugar, and sea salt over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate chips.
