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

Season and Sear

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes for medium doneness, or until desired doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium).

Roasting

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

Resting

In a saucepan, combine beef stock, red wine, chopped onion, carrot, celery, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30-40 minutes until reduced by half. Strain the sauce to remove solids.

Simmering

Soak the sliced onions in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, dredge the soaked onions in flour. Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Fry the onions in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
