Wild Mushroom Stuffed Beef Tenderloin

Roast:
3 lb. beef tenderloin roast
2 Tbs. olive oil

Marinade:
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbs. molasses
5 cloves garlic
2 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger
3/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 Tbs. fresh thyme; rubbed
1 Tbs. fresh rosemary; chopped
1 Tbs. fresh sage leaves; rubbed
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
1 tsp. salt

Stuffing:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup red onion; diced
1 cup chanterelle mushrooms; diced
1/4 cup pine nuts
4 cups dried bread cubes
1 1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary; chopped
1 1/2 tsp. fresh sage leaves; rubbed
3 Tbs. fresh parsley; chopped
2 eggs; beaten
3/4 cup chicken broth
salt and black pepper to taste

Prepare the marinade in a blender by adding vinegars, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, garlic and ginger; blend to puree. Continue blending while adding olive oil slowly until oil is completely emulsified. Add herbs, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and stir to mix.

Put tenderloin in a large ziploc bag and add marinade. Seal the bag and shake to completely coat loin. Refrigerate for 12-24 hours turning meat twice.

Heat a 12" deep Dutch Oven using 14-16 briquettes bottom. To the oven add butter, onions, pine nuts, and mushrooms to sauté. In separate bowl combine bread cubes, and herbs. Mix in egg and chicken broth. Add sautéed vegetables and stir until well mixed. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover and set aside.

Reheat original oven using 18-20 briquettes bottom. When oven is hot add olive oil. Remove tenderloin from marinade and place in preheated oven. Sear on all sides 3 minutes per side until meat turns a nice dark brown. Remove from oven, cover, and allow to cool.

Cut a deep pocket lengthwise down the narrow side of the loin and put as much stuffing as you can inside. Be careful not to rip the ends while stuffing. Tie with cotton string to hold together if necessary.

Place roast back in oven and roast using 12-14 briquettes bottom and 14-16 briquettes top for 40-50 minutes basting meat once with leftover marinade, until internal temperature of thickest part of meat reaches 145° F. (Medium rare). Remove roast from Dutch Oven and let stand for 5 minutes before service.
