Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5-pound beef tenderloin roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 sprin fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub it all over with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Sear the roast in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer; 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  5. Remove the roast from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil.
  6. While the roast rests, place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Add the beef broth and fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
  9. Remove the herb sprigs. Stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is glossy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Slice the beef tenderloin and serve with the red wine sauce.

Notes

  • For best results, let the beef tenderloin come to room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before roasting.
  • You can adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
  • A good quality dry red wine will make a difference in the flavor of your sauce.
