Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lb beef tenderloin
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 shallots (chopped)
- 1⅓ cups apple vinegar
- 2½ cups beef broth (divided)
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- Fresh rosemary (for seasoning)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent. Stir in apple vinegar, 1 cup of beef broth, and thyme; simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides for about 2-3 minutes each.
- Transfer the seared tenderloin to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare). Allow resting for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Complete the sauce by removing thyme sprigs and adding remaining beef broth, garlic, and rosemary; simmer for a few more minutes before serving.
- Serve sliced tenderloin drizzled with apple vinegar sauce.
