Beef Tenderloin

Method

Preparation of Beef

  1. 1

    Season the Beef

    Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned beef tenderloin. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until a nice brown crust forms. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Preparation of Mushroom Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and chopped shallots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are browned and the shallots are translucent.

  2. 4

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.

  3. 5

    Add Beef Broth

    Add the beef broth to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 6

    Combine with Beef

    Return the seared beef tenderloin to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over it. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the beef tenderloin into medallions and arrange them on a serving platter. Pour the mushroom sauce over the beef.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for garnish.
