Roasted Tenderloin

Bordelaise Sauce

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Asparagus

Method

Roasted Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tenderloin

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.

  3. 3

    Roast the Tenderloin

    Place the tenderloin on a roasting pan and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

  4. 4

    Rest the Meat

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

Bordelaise Sauce

  1. 5

    Cook the Shallots

    In a saucepan, add the chopped shallots and red wine. Bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce the liquid by half.

  2. 6

    Add Beef Stock

    Add the beef stock and fresh thyme to the reduced wine mixture. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove the sauce from heat and whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 8

    Boil the Potatoes

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

  2. 9

    Add Garlic

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the garlic cloves to the boiling potatoes.

  3. 10

    Mash the Potatoes

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

Asparagus

  1. 11

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus.

  2. 12

    Season and Roast

    Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven alongside the tenderloin for about 10-15 minutes.
