Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 1 cup beef stock
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it generously with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until well-browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from heat. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Coat the tenderloin evenly with this herb mixture.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the tenderloin.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or to your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

While the tenderloin is roasting, prepare the red wine reduction sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the flour into the saucepan and stir constantly for 1 minute to form a roux.

Step 9

Slowly whisk in the red wine and beef stock, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Strain the red wine reduction sauce, if desired, to remove the shallots for a smoother consistency.

Step 12

Slice the tenderloin into medallions and serve with the red wine reduction drizzled on top. Pair with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
