Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin (trimmed and tied)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 cup beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels and rub it all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and Herbes de Provence. Rub this herb mixture evenly over the surface of the tenderloin.

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F/54°C) or longer if desired.

Step 6

While the tenderloin is roasting, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the white wine. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the beef stock. Cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.

Step 7

Remove the tenderloin from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Slice the meat into medallions and drizzle with the prepared sauce. Serve immediately alongside roasted vegetables or your preferred side dish.
