I have a love hate relationship with this Roasted Beef Tenderloin with French Onion Au Jus. The post Roasted Beef Tenderloin with French Onion Au Jus. appeared first on Half Baked Harvest.
INGREDIENTS: – 1 butternut squash about 2 1/2 lbs (see directions below) – 3 apples peeled and cut up – 1 T butter – onion chopped – carrot chopped – celery, chopped – 2 tsp fresh thyme – 1T fresh sage, slivered – 5 cups chicken stock (about)
DIRECTIONS: 1) Preheat oven to 350. If using cubed squash, toss with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast for about 30 minutes until squash is semi-soft. If using whole squash, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop seeds out (leave skin on). Place squash on rimmed baking pan. Put on oven rack and pour 2 c water around. Bake 45 min. Scoop out flesh when cool.
2) Melt butter and cook onion, carrot and celery and apples until soft.
3) Add chicken stock, squash, thyme and herbs. Cook about 20 minutes at a simmer
