Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels.
- Rub the tenderloin evenly with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the surface of the beef.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the tenderloin in the skillet, browning all sides for about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared beef to your prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches about 130°F for medium-rare.
- Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Making the Sauce
- Place the skillet back over medium heat and pour in the beef broth. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Allow the broth to simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until reduced slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter and flour into a smooth paste. Gradually whisk it into the simmering sauce, cooking until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Serving
- Slice your beef into medallions, spoon the pan sauce over the top, and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and steamed green beans for a classic pairing. Wrap leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
