Ingredients

• 1 pound beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the beef to the skillet and sear for 4 minutes on each side until browned.

Step 4

Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. Tent with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add butter and let it melt.

Step 6

Add mushrooms to the butter and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, and fresh thyme, stirring to combine.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a slurry.

Step 11

Gradually whisk the slurry into the sauce, letting it continue to simmer until it reaches the desired thickness, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Return the beef to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the meat.

Step 13

Allow the beef to heat through, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 14

Serve the beef hot, topped generously with the rich mushroom sauce.
