Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the beef tenderloin. Generously season with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the tenderloin for about 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the tenderloin to a baking dish and roast in a 425°F (220°C) oven for 20-25 minutes until desired doneness.
In the same skillet, sauté shallots and garlic until fragrant, then deglaze with red wine and simmer until reduced.
Add beef broth to the wine reduction, simmer, then stir in heavy cream and herbs until smooth.
Slice the rested tenderloin into medallions and serve with the sauce drizzled on top.
