Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef Tenderloin
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and sear the tenderloin on all sides for about 2 minutes per side until browned.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp 130°F) or longer for desired doneness.
- Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
2. Roast the Potatoes
- Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. Cook the Broccoli & Carrots
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the carrots. Cook for 3 minutes, then add broccoli and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Drain and toss with a little olive oil and salt.
4. Make the Sauce (Optional)
- In the same skillet used for the beef, add beef broth and scrape up any browned bits.
- Stir in Dijon mustard and heavy cream, then let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Whisk in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve
Slice the tenderloin, plate it with the roasted potatoes and vegetables, and drizzle with sauce. Enjoy!
