Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms
• 2 units shallots
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 roll butcher’s twine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Finely chop the mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 6-8 minutes until the moisture from the mushrooms evaporates.

Step 4

Stir in fresh thyme, panko breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Butterfly the beef tenderloin by making a lengthwise cut down the center without cutting all the way through. Open it like a book and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the meat to an even thickness, about 3/4 inch.

Step 6

Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the surface of the beef. Then, layer the mushroom mixture down the center of the beef.

Step 7

Carefully roll the beef tenderloin tightly around the filling. Use butcher’s twine to tie the roast at 1-inch intervals to secure the filling inside.

Step 8

Season the exterior of the beef with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Heat the remaining olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides for 1-2 minutes until browned.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Step 11

Remove the beef from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 12

Cut the twine off the roast and slice the beef into 1-inch-thick rounds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
