Method

Preparing the Beef

  1. 1

    Seasoning the Beef

    Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and chopped fresh thyme. Ensure the beef is evenly coated. Let it marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Searing the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted and bubbling, add the marinated beef tenderloin. Sear it on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Roasting the Beef

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the seared beef to a baking dish and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Preparing the Shallots

    In the same skillet used for searing the beef, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 5

    Deglazing the Pan

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Let it simmer until reduced by half.

  3. 6

    Finishing the Sauce

    Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slicing the Beef

    Once the beef is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice it into medallions.

  2. 8

    Plating

    Serve the sliced beef tenderloin topped with the red wine and shallot sauce. Pair with your favorite sides.
