Beef Tenderloin Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bleu Cheese Butter

   In a small bowl, mix together the softened unsalted butter and bleu cheese until well combined. Stir in chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Beef Tenderloin

   Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. 3

   Season the Beef

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

4. 4

   Sear the Beef

   In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef tenderloin and sear it for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a nice brown crust forms.

5. 5

   Roast in the Oven

   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the beef tenderloin for about 15-20 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).

6. 6

   Rest and Serve

   Remove the skillet from the oven and let the beef tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve topped with the bleu cheese butter.
