Ingredients
  

2 lbs beef tenderloin, trimmed

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

12 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

½ cup dry red wine

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

½ cup heavy cream

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Season the beef tenderloin liberally with salt and black pepper on all sides.

      In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin and sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms.

        Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the beef for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (135°F for medium-rare).

          Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

            While the beef is resting, prepare the mushroom sauce in the same skillet. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.

              Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.

                Sprinkle in the fresh thyme and cook for another minute.

                  Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate all the flavorful bits. Allow the wine to simmer for about 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.

                    Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, simmering for an additional 5 minutes.

                      Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                        Slice the beef tenderloin into medallions and serve with the mushroom sauce drizzled generously over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
