Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef Tenderloin:
- 2 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
For the Sauce:
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Season the tenderloin: Rub the beef with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush with Dijon mustard.
- Sear the beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tenderloin on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to the baking sheet.
- Roast: Place in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Rest for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet, add beef broth and red wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Mix butter and flour into a paste and whisk it into the sauce to thicken.
- Serve: Slice the tenderloin into medallions, drizzle with sauce, and enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness.
- Let the tenderloin rest for 10 minutes after roasting to retain juices.
- Substitute red wine with pomegranate juice or extra beef broth for a non-alcoholic option.
