- 2 tablespoons garlic crushed
- 3 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoons black peppercorns coarsely ground
FOR THE MUSHROOM GRAVY:
- 6 ounces cremini or baby bella mushrooms cleaned and finely chopped
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 1 small bunch thyme finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 3 cups vegetable broth (or beef, or chicken)
Instructions
FOR THE BEEF TENDERLOIN:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Use the roast setting if you have this feature).
- You will need: A sheetpan lined with parchment paper, A baking rack and 4 to 5 pieces of butcher twine.
- In a small bowl, add the paste ingredients. Mix thoroughly to combine.
- Trim off as much excess fat from the tenderloin (or ask your butcher to do the trimming.)
- Place the tenderloin on the sheetpan and season it all over with the paste.
- Shape the beef tenderloin using the butcher twine - tie it about 1 1/2 to 2 inches intervals.
- Place the baking rack on top of the lined sheetpan. Place the seasoned tenderloin on top of the rack.
- Bake 25 to 35 minutes depending on how you prefer your doneness. I usually cook to 145 degrees most of the time. (The meat will continue to cook during the resting stage).Note: The FDA recommends steaks and roasts be cooked to 145 degrees. Use a meat thermometer to test.
- Remove the tenderloin from the oven, cover with aluminium foil loosely. Rest 15 minutes before slicing.
- Slice to your desired thickness. Serve with the Mushroom Shallot Gravy and a side of this Perfect Brussels Sprout with Crispy Prosciutto.
- Enjoy and Happy Cooking!
