Beef Tenderloin

Red Wine Reduction Sauce

Mixed Mushrooms

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Beef Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef tenderloin pieces with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Beef

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the beef tenderloin for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Remove from heat and let it rest.

Red Wine Reduction Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same pan used for grilling, add the minced shallots and sauté until they are translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Wine and Broth

    Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.

  3. 5

    Thicken the Sauce

    Add fresh thyme and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in butter until melted and smooth.

Mixed Mushrooms

  1. 6

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean and chop the mixed mushrooms. Mince the garlic.

  2. 7

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 8

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
