Method
Preparing the Beef Tenderloin
- 1
Searing the Beef
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef tenderloin with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Roasting the Beef
Add crushed garlic cloves to the skillet. 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. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Potatoes
While the beef is resting, peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips for frites. Rinse them in cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Frying the Frites
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Preparing the Sauce
In the same skillet used for the beef, melt the butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent. Pour in the red wine and beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Stir in thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
