Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Beef Tenderloin with Root Vegetables

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides.
3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef tenderloin for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then add thyme and rosemary. Stir to combine.
6. Return the beef tenderloin to the skillet, spooning some of the vegetables and broth over the top.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
8. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
9. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the vegetables and broth from the skillet, place over medium heat, and whisk in flour until smooth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
10. Serve the sliced beef tenderloin with the root vegetables and drizzle with the savory sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your beef is cooked to your preferred doneness.
• Letting the beef rest after cooking helps retain its juices for a more flavorful bite.
• Feel free to mix in other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips for variety.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the beef tenderloin with pork tenderloin for a different flavor profile.
• Add garlic cloves to the vegetable mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
• Incorporate seasonal vegetables like Brussels sprouts or butternut squash to customize the dish.

What to Serve With It

• A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower for a comforting side.
• A glass of red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, pairs beautifully with the beef.
