Instructions
Rub tenderloin with oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for an hour or 2 in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe saute pan over high heat. Sear tenderloin on all sides until nicely colored all over.
Transfer pan to oven and roast for 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before thinly slicing on the bias.
Serve with the risotto and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Place mushrooms in a bowl and pour boiling water over them; cover and let sit 10 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add shallots and sweat until they start to turn translucent in color, just a couple minutes.
Add rice and stir around until all the grains are covered with oil. To the rice, add the stock and wine.
Remove the mushrooms from their liquid, reserving the liquid, and chop them roughly.
Add the mushrooms with their liquid to the pot.
Add salt, raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Stir well, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring once more after 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter, pecorino, and parsley.
Serve with sliced tenderloin.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Italian can be paired with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Santa Margherita Chianti Classico Riserva with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 27 dollars per bottle.
Santa Margherita Chianti Classico Riserva
An authentic Italian Chianti made from grapes grown in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico region. An exquisite expression of the Sangiovese grape, with substantial acidity from the low pH of the soil in this region.The aromas of this complex red wine range from cherries and plums to gladiolus flowers and earthy flint. The tannic, oak-aged flavors are bright and round, with a dry, warm, earthy finish.Best enjoyed with very flavorful dishes, such as tomato-based sauces, mushroom ravioli, beef or pork roasts, and game meats from venison to pheasant. It is also excellent with mature cheeses.Blend: 85% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon
