Beef Tenderloin Mushroom Sauce (Printable Version)

Juicy beef tenderloin complemented by a luscious, creamy mushroom sauce with garlic and herbs.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Beef

01 - 680 g beef tenderloin
02 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Sauce

03 - 28 g unsalted butter
04 - 225 g mushrooms, sliced
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 2 shallots, finely chopped
07 - 120 ml dry red wine
08 - 240 ml beef broth
09 - 120 ml heavy cream
10 - Fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley), for garnish

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned.
02 - Transfer the seared beef to a preheated oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 57°C. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
03 - In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
04 - Incorporate minced garlic and chopped shallots into the mushrooms, cooking until fragrant. Pour in red wine, beef broth, and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
05 - Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce gently until it thickens to a creamy consistency, approximately 10-15 minutes.
06 - Slice the rested beef tenderloin and serve alongside the mushroom sauce, garnished with fresh herbs.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Resting the beef after roasting allows juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier texture.
