Lamb tenderloin with charred tomato demi
Ingredients
- 1 whole lamb rack, untrimmed
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) avocado oil, divided
- 3 Roma tomatoes, halved
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 fresh Poblano pepper
- 1 fresh jalapeno pepper
- 4 cups (950 milliliters) beef stock
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Pre-heat grill or broiler to high heat <400 F (<205 C).
- In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, Poblano peppers, onion, and jalapeño with half of the avocado oil.
- Broil or grill the vegetables until evenly charred. Remove stems and seeds from the peppers, as needed. Set aside.
- Use a sharp knife to remove the lamb tenderloin from the rack, trim off the fat and sinew and reserve.
- Set tenderloin aside; trim bones into manageable pieces and reserve.
- Heat remaining avocado oil in a large heavy pan over medium-high heat, add the reserved bones and trim.
- Brown bones and trim well, then drain and discard excess fat. Remove and reserve the browned bones and trim.
- Use the same pan to sauté charred tomatoes, onions, poblanos, and jalapeño for three to five minutes, until soft and beginning to brown.
- Return bones and trim the pan, then add beef stock and simmer to make a broth; reduce broth by three quarters.
- After the stock has reduced, remove the bones from the broth, transfer the vegetables and broth to a blender. Blend in batches at the lowest speed, then strain well to make the charred tomato demi.
- In a pan over medium/high heat, place three tablespoons (45 milliliters) of avocado oil.
- Season the lamb loin roast with salt and pepper.
- Brown roast for two minutes per side, until evenly browned and medium rare. Remove from pan and rest for five minutes.
- Slice roast and serve with the charred tomato demi.
