Ingredients

• 2 beef tenderloin steaks (6-8 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

How to Make Beef Tenderloin with Creamy Sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the beef tenderloin steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the steaks for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
5. While the steaks are cooking, prepare the creamy garlic sauce. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Pour in the beef broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
7. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped parsley. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve the steaks drizzled with the creamy garlic sauce.

To ensure your beef tenderloin and sauce turn out perfectly:

• Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
• Let the meat rest after cooking to retain its juices.
• Adjust the garlic in the sauce to your taste; you can add more for an extra kick.

Easy Variations

• Replace beef broth with red wine for a deeper flavor.
• Add sautéed mushrooms to the creamy sauce for an earthy twist.
• Incorporate a splash of lemon juice or zest for brightness.
• Top with additional herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.

What to Serve With It

This beef tenderloin pairs beautifully with a variety of sides:

• Garlic mashed potatoes
• Roasted asparagus or green beans
• Herb buttered noodles
• Simple mixed green salad

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers, store the beef and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
