Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or rosemary)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Pat the beef tenderloin dry and rub all sides with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let rest. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, scraping browned bits from the bottom, then stir in heavy cream and remaining Dijon mustard until heated through.
- Slice the rested beef into medallions, serve on plates, and drizzle generously with creamy sauce.
