Ingredients

• 4 pieces beef tenderloin steaks
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons shallots, finely minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the beef tenderloin steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and wait until it shimmers.

Step 4

Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time depending on desired doneness). Remove the steaks from the skillet, place them on a plate, and cover loosely with foil to rest.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt.

Step 6

Add the minced shallots and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the dry white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.

Step 8

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and fresh thyme leaves. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Warm them in the sauce for 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the steaks immediately, topped with the Dijon cream sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Pair with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
